The standard word for 'history' is 歷史 / 历史 lìshǐ, 歴史 rekishi, or lịch sử. By creating a two-character compound, the Mainland translation shows that this is not just any old 'history' (历史 lìshǐ), but specifically a 'school history' 校史 xiàoshǐ!
The Vietnamese version uses two different translations at different occurrences of the book.
