History
In 1858, with the support of Count Mikó Imre, a Reformed (Calvinist) secondary school was opened in Sepsiszentgyörgy. Initially it was located next to the Reformed Church. In 1863, it moved to its present site, where the classrooms were first set up in small houses and stables. The present neoclassical school building was built between 1870 and 1876 according to the plans of Zofalh Gusztáv. The plans were paid for by Mikó Imre, the building materials were provided by Székely villages in Háromszék, and the land was provided free of charge by the town. Mikó Imre died in 1876. At that time the school decided to take the names of its three founders (the Reformed Church, the Székely people of Háromszék and Count Mikó Imre), and became the Reformed Székely Mikó School then College.
The southern wing of the college, on Mikó Street, was built in 1892 according to the plans of Alpár Ignác.
The building was severely damaged in an earthquake in 1940, and due to the war, education in the building only resumed in December 1944. In 1948 the school was nationalised and the Romanian language of instruction was introduced. The school was given back its old name after 1989, but the Romanian state tried to sabotage the church's efforts to reclaim the institution in every possible way.
