History

St. Michael's Secondary School is a part of the Anglican Diocese of Sabah. The development of Anglican Church schools was inspired by foreign settlers to provide education to their children.

St. Michael's was founded in 1888 by the late Rev. William Henry Elton. At first, there were two students in the school, who taught Elton Malay language and Chinese language. In exchange, Elton taught them English.

After World War II St. Michael's collapsed, but the school was rebuilt using donations from people around the district.

St. Michael's is divided into two sections. The new building consists of five floors including washrooms for teachers and students, staffroom, science laboratories, IT lab, library and classrooms. The other part of the school includes classrooms, Canteen A and surau (a small place of worship for Muslims). Canteen B is located in front of the Canteen A. Between the two buildings, there is an open place for outdoor activities. In addition, there is Elton Square on the ground floor of the new building.
