SMK Tinggi Segamat

Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Tinggi Segamat, also called Sekolah Tinggi Segamat, and originally Segamat High School, is one of the main secondary schools in Segamat, Johor. Comprising 17 buildings, it occupies an 11-acre plot of land to the southeast of Istana Hinggap. The school was established in 1914 as the Government English School - around the same time that Segamat itself was founded. This was to ensure that the newly established township of Segamat has an educational institution.

The first headmaster of the school was J.C. McHeyzer while V.A. Mathew was the Senior Assistant. The school was such an important part of Segamat, that the road leading to it is called School Road (Jalan Sekolah). There were name changes to the school through its long history, to Segamat Secondary English School, then to Sekolah Menengah Inggeris Segamat, and presently, to Sekolah Tinggi Segamat.

The landmark school building was constructed between 1926 and 1929, with the first batch of students occupying it from 1930. As of 2009, the principal is Tuan Haji Ayob Jantan.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
