In the next academic year, 1970/1971, the school relocated to its present location due to the completion of the campus construction. The new campus was a two-storeyed building with only 12 rooms.
In the AY 1973-74, the school was renamed Nguyễn Thượng Hiền School in honor of Nguyễn Thượng Hiền. However, twelve years later, the government decided to change the name to Nguyễn Văn Trỗi School. Soon after, however, the school was renamed again as Nguyễn Thượng Hiền High School.
