Michael Anagnos (Greek: Μιχαήλ Αναγνωστόπουλος/Ανάγνος; November 7, 1837 – June 29, 1906) was a trustee and later second director of the Perkins School for the Blind.

Anagnos went to high school in Ioannina and attended the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens at age nineteen.

Anagnos organized relief for the war effort and was in charge of the Cretan Committee's affairs in Athens.

Doctor Howe had to travel back to the United States and invited Anagnos to Boston to continue his work with the Cretan Committee in New England around 1868.

After several years in the United States and with Howe's assistance, Anagnos began to teach Greek at different colleges.

This contributed to his work with Helen Keller, Thomas Stringer, Willie Elizabeth Robin, and other blind and deaf students.

By this time she had published several books and assisted and inspired her husband's work with the deaf and blind as well as helping raise money for the kindergarten.

Within the next few years, a kindergarten building was erected in Jamaica Plain, Boston, and a large endowment was organized.

The queen learned about Helen Keller's story and asked to read every letter she wrote Anagnos.

Her interest was so intense that she kept several of the letters and the nine-year-old blind girl was highly regarded in the queen's court.

Around age ten Helen Keller wrote "The Frost King" and sent it as a birthday gift to Anagnos.

[9][10][11] Anagnos frequently spent time with notable Harvard professor Evangelinos Apostolides Sophocles.

He made large financial contributions to Greek education and established schools in Papingo, Greece.
