Kuching High School, nestled atop a 3-acre
undulating terrain, is situated at the city centre, overlooking the hub of the
most briskly commercial centre of Kuching – among them are the 5-star hotels, shopping complexes, government
agencies, financial institutions and coming up 2009 “Hills” project comprises
of Novotel hotel and shopping complex all under one roof.
At the entrance gate, the modern arch stands
majestically amidst the humble surroundings. For decades, it has symbolized an

development. The Board of Management under the patronage of Teochew Association
has mainly responsible for the infra-structure of the school. Currently in the
drawing board are the up-and-coming projects on a roofing cover between block 6
and block 7 of the school and the much-needed multi-purpose hall. These
projects along with some beautification programmes would invariably make
Kuching High an enviable institution around this region.

Chinese-converted secondary school since 1963 - Chinese language is essentially
an important and popular subject among the students, in line with its
justification of conversion and establishment. Till today, this is still looked
upon as the soul and spirit of Kuching High, without which the school will be
looked upon as "rootless".
Under the dynamic and far-sighted leadership
of the current principal – Mr. Ivor Lim, assisted by a pool of dedicated and
committed staff, coupled with the concerted effort of the Board of Management
and other parties concerned,
