The learning institution was established in 1991 to expand access to secondary education within the Burnt Forest and Ainabkoi region.
Since its founding, the school has operated as a mixed-gender institution, offering both day and boarding options to accommodate learners from diverse social and economic backgrounds.
Rurigi Secondary was formerly classified as a Sub-County school and today falls under the C2 category within the Ministry of Education’s revised institutional classification.
Admission to the school has been determined by performance in the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) examination since its inception.
Following the introduction of the Competency-Based Education (CBE) framework, the KCPE system was phased out and replaced by the Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA).
