History

The school began as the Government English School on 8 January 1948, at the Kedah Volunteer Force Drill Hall. It is the third English-medium school to be established in Kedah and the first secondary school to be established in southern Kedah (catering the Kulim, Baling and Bandar Baharu districts). The idea to establish the school was initiated and led by Syed Omar bin Syed Abdullah Shahabuddin, the then Kulim District Officer. Prior to the school's establishment, parents have no choice but to send their children to secondary schools in Bukit Mertajam or Sungai Petani.

In 1953, the school became to be known as Badlishah School taking the name of the then Sultan of Kedah, His Royal Highness Sultan Badlishah, in conjunction with His Royal Highness' visit the year before. The school name changed again in 1959, adding the word Sultan, thus became known as Sultan Badlishah School.

The school celebrated its Silver Jubilee in 1973 and its Golden Jubilee in 1998, officiated by the then Kulim District Officer, Tuan Syed Harun Al Jafree and the then Minister of Education, Dato' Sri Najib Razak respectively[5].
