St Michael's Institution

A grand old building, St Michael's Institution is a secondary high school built in 1912. It is administered as part of global La Sallian school network. The school grounds also contains the less impressive primary school which was added later. The school has produced its fair share of illustrious alumni active in the Malaysian political, arts, sports and entertainment fields.

During World War II, it was used as an administrative center by the Japanese, housing the governor's residence, police department, treasury, air raid shelter and telephone exchange. With the end of the war, the building once again became a educational institution after 24 September 1945.
