History
The school building was inaugurated on 15 May 1912, with the primary school in the east wing and the girls' high school in the south wing.
Between 1915 and 1917, a Red Cross hospital operated in the south wing. During this period, the high school was located in the east wing.
After the Romanian occupation, on 29 May 1919, the Romanian state expropriated it and it became a girls' grammar school with Romanian as the language of instruction. After the town was liberated, it became a Hungarian Royal State Girls' High School with Hungarian and Romanian sections in September 1940. The building housed the newly established eight-grade Hunyadi János Boys' High School as well, also with Hungarian and Romanian sections.
The primary school was also reorganised with Hungarian as the language of instruction. After the Soviet invasion, the Romanian state expropriated it again in November 1944. A mixed boys' and girls' grammar school was established under the name of Alexandru Odobescu, and the primary school took the name of Andrei Mureşanu.
