History

Sekolah Menengah Awang Semaun was established in March 1982 under the name Sungai Kebun English Secondary School. It was first located at the present Maktab Sains Paduka Seri Begawan Sultan premise before it moved to its current location on 3 February 1983. On 13 December 1984 marked its official opening by the then Ministry of Education, Yang Berhormat Pehin Orang Kaya Laila Wijaya Dato Seri Setia Haji Awang Abdul Aziz. The occasion was marked by the renaming of the school as Sekolah Menengah Awang Semaun (Awang Semaun Secondary School), a tribute to a Brunei legendary hero.

The school follows the national Secondary Schools' curriculum of the SPN21 (Sistem Pendidikan Abad ke-21) starting 2007.
