Han Chiang High School is one of the major Chinese schools in Penang. It is located off Ayer Itam Road. The school is entered through Jalan Han Chiang, a service road which was originally Green Lane until its realignment. The road behind the school was named Jalan Lim Lean Teng in honour of the school's founder.

Han Chiang High School was the initiative of the Teochew community led by its president Lim Lean Teng. The school traces its history to 1923, when the original premises at Chulia Street was completed. That original building, since restored, now houses the offices of the Teochew Association.

As the student body grew, the need for bigger premises led the Teochew Association to purchase a 31-acre plot of land in the Green Lane area. The foundation stone of the new school building was laid on 15 July, 1950. By mid 1951, 20 classrooms have been built, along with a canteen and an auditorium. The first school session at the new premises started on 1 February, 1952.

Today the Han Chiang High School continues to be a privately run educational institution, as its board of directors resolved not to restructure to become a national-type school.
