History[]
Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Anderson was officially opened on 6 February 1909. The name "Anderson" was taken after the British High Commissioner in Malaya at that time, (also the Governor of the Straits Settlements), Sir John Anderson. Anderson School was created to provide opportunities for Malay students who did not have the opportunity to enter the Kuala Kangsar Malay College. Due to religious reasons, Malay parents refuse to send their children to existing English schools such as English-Chinese School.
Lt. Col. J. H, Tyte, Senior Assistant at Victoria's Secondary School was appointed as the first Headmaster. He is assisted by Mr. E. C. Smith who is the Senior Assistant. The pioneer teacher consists of a trained teacher and five senior SMK Victoria students. The first school building was designed by local architects, namely Mr. C. H. La Brooy and located on Jalan Douglas. The building is now used as the Perak Religious Office (Pejabat Agama Perak).
