SMK Jalan Arang had its beginnings in 2003, pioneered by Mdm. Belinda Lim Sok Khoon (who had left for SMB St.Joseph, Kuching) as the Acting Principal and Mdm. Hii Kwong Ing as the Senior Assistant of Student Affairs along with 878 students, 43 academic staff and 7 non-academic staff. During that time, 22 classes were assigned (from transition class until Form 4). Due to the small amounts of students, there were only morning session for the class schedule.
In 2004, an afternoon session was added, thus making SMK Jalan Arang a two-session school (morning and afternoon) to accommodate the expansion into 31 classes for 1221 students, 59 academic staff and 11 non-academic staff. The year 2004 also marks the arrival of Mdm. Mary John as the principal of SMK Jalan Arang . Mr. Daniel Anyie Eng was appointed the Afternoon Session Supervisor while Mr. William Tedong as the Senior Assistant in Co-Curricular Activities.
