History

Mikó Bálint, ispán of Csík Count, was the chairman of the committee set up to build the grammar school, and he personally played a significant role in the establishment of this important educational institution in the county. In 1876 he was elected member of the Hungarian Parliament representing Csíkszereda. Between 1882 and 1905 he was the ispán of Csík County, and from 1883 he was the warden of the Csíksomlyó grammar school for 36 years.

Count Majláth Gustáv Károly, Bishop of Transylvania, was a strong supporter of the construction of the grammar school. He proposed that the new building of the Grammar School of Csíksomlyó should be built in the town (Csíkszereda). He supported the schools in Transylvania and distributed educational grants from his private fortune and clerical income. On 5 June 1911 he personally consecrated the institution.

Újfalusi Jenő (1878-1967) represented the town on the committee that built the grammar school. He was the mayor of Csíkszereda between 1902 and 1919, and is associated with numerous developments. He resigned after the Romanian occupation and left for Hungary.

The Transylvanian bishop Márton Áron, persecuted by the communists, is the school's eponym. Márton Áron, the future Bishop of Transylvania, was an outstanding student of the Roman Catholic Grammar School in Csíkszereda between 1911 and 1914.
