History

SMK Maxwell (Maxwell Secondary School) was established in the year 1924. Today, it's one of the oldest schools in Malaysia. It got its name from the road in front of the school (formerly known as Jalan Maxwell) and a hill behind the school.

In the early days of its establishment, this school was known as Maxwell Boys Primary School. It was a primary school for the children of government officers and distinguished people who lived around Kenny Hill (Bukit Tunku).

Since its establishment, this school has gone through many events facing the country. From 1933 to 1939, this school was closed because of world economic recession. In 1941, it was closed again because it was used as barracks for Japanese soldiers. Then in 1947, it was reopened and renovations were carried out to convert this school into a secondary school, which offered a few modern subjects such as accountancy, typing, commerce and others. This was a historic moment for this school.

Now, there are many changes in the curriculum as well as the co-curriculum of the school. There are more than 30 clubs and societies. These clubs and societies are active and often excel in their fields. There are approximately 1400 students and 74 teachers.

SMK Maxwell continues striving to ensure that our country's younger generation achieves success in both the curriculum and the co-curriculum. With this, it hopes that they will be useful and responsible citizens of Malaysia.
