Miri Science Secondary School (Malay: Sekolah Menengah Sains Miri) is a boarding science secondary school located in Miri, a city in the Malaysian state of Sarawak. The current principal is Dayang Laila Haji Kahar.[1]
Miri Science Secondary School was established on 1 January 1990 and is the first ever boarding school in Sarawak.[2] At that time, the first batches to register in the school were from Form 1, Form 4 and lower Form 6. There were only five teachers including the principal but then increased to 13 teachers. In 1995, the intake for lower Form 6 was stopped and replaced by the intake for the matriculation programmes of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) with as many as 26 students. However, the programmes ended in 2000 after a new matriculation college is built in Labuan and is taken by the Ministry of Education (MOE).
