The Sultan Abdul Hamid College (SAHC, now Kolej Sultan Abdul Hamid) is a premier school in Alor Setar, Malaysia. Formerly known as the Government English School, it is one of the oldest English schools to be established in the country. It boasts of an illustrious alumni roster that includes Prime Ministers Mahathir bin Mohamad (b. 1925) and Tunku Abdul Rahman (b. 1903 d. 1990) and the present Sultan of Kedah, Sultan Abdul Halim (b. 1927). A former student and teacher, Daim Zainuddin, later went on to become the Finance Minister of Malaysia. The school recently celebrated its hundredth year of existence (1908–2008).
The Sultan Abdul Hamid College is also known as SAHC (in English), KSAH (in Malay) or just simply and fondly "College" to the students and teachers of the school. Its yearly magazine or schoolbook is called "Darulaman" (the abode of peace), referring to the Arabic title for the state of Kedah.
Primarily a boys' school, its students comprise of boys of Form 1s to Form 5s and mixed sexes of Lower and Upper 6s. The student population has increased tremendously from the school's early inception: less than 50 in 1908, to more than 1,200 in 2007.
The school administration, under Mr. Mohd. Zainon b. Shafie decided to change the school's mission and vision to reflect increased competition from other premier schools in Malaysia, including Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Sultanah Asma, which is located a few kilometres away along Jalan Langgar. The new vision is to be one of the top 10 premier schools in Malaysia by the year 2010.
