History
The Jesuits were invited to Nagykároly by the Károlyi family in 1630, but moved to Szatmárnémeti in around 1640 due to the proximity of the Turks. A grammar school was founded by Archbishop Pázmány Péter in the early 1640s. The school was upgraded in 1660. In 1672 the castle church, the parish and the former Reformed school were taken over by the Jesuits. After the dissolution of the Jesuit order in 1773, the ex-Jesuits continued to teach. In 1776, the school was handed over to the Pauline brothers. The Pauline Order was banned by Emperor Joseph II in 1786, and the school was closed.
In 1804, Bishop Fischer István opened the lyceum and asked the king to open a grammar school. In 1806 teaching started in the 6 class grammar school, also maintained by the diocese, under the guidance of diocesan priests. The school was upgraded in 1808. From 1844 the language of instruction was Hungarian (previously it was Latin). In 1851, the two institutions were merged, and the main grammar school was established. The school got secular teachers in 1862. From 1863 to 1918 it was a Royal Catholic grammar school. Seized by the Romanian invaders in June 1919, it continued to operate as the Eminescu State Lyceum and was the language of instruction became Romanian. The Hungarian section was closed in 1926. Between 1940-45 it was again a Royal Hungarian State Secondary School. The Jesuits returned to Szatmárnémeti in 1858 at the invitation of Bishop Hám János.
The present building of the high school was built in 1912 according to the plans of Kotál Henrik.
