In July 1980, SMA Negeri 34 Jakarta (34 State Senior High School of Jakarta) asked for a license to open Kelas Jauh. On 6 August 1980 the license was approved. A year of preparation preceded the launch on 20 July 1981. After less than a year of operation, on 10 April 1982 it was declared that "SMAN 34 Jakarta Kelas Jauh" would officially become SMA Negeri 66 Jakarta. A full building rehabilitation followed. From 2002-2004 SMAN 66 Jakarta moved to SDN Pondok Labu 12 (12th Pondok Labu Primary School of Jakarta), SDN Pondok Labu 13 (13th Pondok Labu Primary School Jakarta), and SDN Pondok Labu 15 (15th Pondok Labu Primary School of Jakarta). On 24 January 2004, the rehabilitation finished and all elements moved to the new building. The Governor of Jakarta Sutiyoso officially opened SMAN 66 Jakarta on 6 February 2004.[1]
In 2007 the new Khunuzul 'Ibad mosque opened. In 2019 B building was finished. It hosts the counselor's room and a new hall called the B building hall. Science is taught in the B building as well.
In 2016 SMAN 66 Jakarta held a cup competition called BATIC CUP. It was deemed successful, but because of some trouble after the event, cup competitions were not held thereafter.
