History
St. Michael's School is one of the oldest schools in the city.

Oral tradition tells of St. Michael's School roots in a Malayalam-medium school attached to Holy Trinity Church, Kannur in the late 1850s. The Christian Brothers came in 1862, introduced English, and erected a new building in 1865, from which its present history is now traced. When these Brothers departed in 1887 the Jesuit priests who ran the parish took over the school. In 1907 the Jesuits made it a European-style middle school, and in 1936 a high school under the Anglo-Indian code. In 1974, for need of financial assistance, the school came under the Kerala Education Rules, as an Anglo-Indian Higher Secondary School.
