St. Paul's Secondary School is a Catholic grant in aid Anglo Chinese secondary grammar school for girls. It was one of the first girls' schools in Hong Kong to offer science subjects and computer studies in the upper forms and computer literacy in the lower forms. It introduced integrated science in the late 60s, computer studies in the late 70s, computer literacy and family life education in the early 80s and implemented IT in education in the 90s. It was selected as one of the 10 pilot secondary schools in the IT in Education Pilot Scheme in 1998. To date, it has widened its curriculum and developed itself into a fully integrated educational institute with arts, sciences, commercial and social sciences at all levels.

St. Paul's Secondary School owes its parentage to the Sisters of St. Paul de Chartres who arrived in Hong Kong from France in 1848. They became involved in local education soon after their arrival. They sponsored and ran St. Paul's Convent School in 1854 and their work of educational excellence became well known in Hong Kong.

St. Paul's Secondary School was founded in 1960 by the Sisters of St. Paul of Chartres as an extension of St. Paul's Convent School to meet the growing needs of science education of girls in Hong Kong at secondary and matriculation levels. Its former principal, Damian Lai, retired in 2006.

There are five classes in each of form 1 to form 6, constituting a total of 30 classes. Most of the form 1 students come from St. Paul's Primary Catholic School and the rest come from other primary schools.
