History

The main building has been used for teaching since 1923. It is the only Hungarian-language secondary school in Arad County, the successor of the former Royal Hungarian High School and the Catholic High School of Arad.

The history of education at secondary school level in Arad began in 1745, when the Minorite Order founded a school, which operated as a six-form grammar school until 1872, when it became a state institution. A new building for the grammar school was constructed at the turn of the century. It was known as the Royal High School until 1919. The educational institution was then taken over by the Romanian state, which meant that secondary education in Hungarian practically ceased in the town, which had Hungarian majority. Since only denominational schools were legally allowed to provide education in minority languages, the Hungarian community of Arad joined forces with the Catholic Church to found the Roman Catholic High School, and in 1922, with public donations and parental support, the school building was constructed - the ownership of the building was transferred by the parents to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Temesvár.
