History
Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Kidurong, Bintulu (SMKKID) was opened at 1 January 1997 and was the fifth secondary school in Bintulu.
SMK Kidurong was forced to operate at the evening session only (12.50pm - 6.30pm) until February 1998 since all the classes were used by the students of Sekolah Menengah Teknik Bintulu during the mornings. At the first week, SMK Kidurong managed to get 252 students and 14 teachers. Tuan Haji Ali Haji Mudin was elected as the first principal of the school and he was given the responsibility to create the buildings of SMK Kidurong. The population of the school increased from year to year when they receive more teachers and students.
Since SMK Kidurong was just created, the number of things and the infrastructure was very limited. Hence, this problem was not so bad since the teachers found a way to strategically teach and make the school better. Along with the school motto "Maju Terus Maju" ("Advancing Ahead" in English), SMK Kidurong continuously gets better and operates systematically with the will to create as many successful students on every public examination year.
