History
The Jesuits began their activities in the town in 1592. The Roman Catholic Grammar School was founded in 1593 by the Jesuit monk Vásárhelyi Gergely to counter the Reformation. The Catholics were subsequently driven out of the town, and it was only in 1633 that the parish of St Nicholas was returned to them, and the school was reorganised in its building. In 1652, the Jesuits returned to the town and their abbot, Sámbár Mátyás, began to build a school with the help of the people of Bethlenfalu. Due to religious strife, Sámbár had to flee, and it was not until the late 1660s that the first independent school was built, which was to be the home of the grammar schiol for 200 years.
The new building of the grammar school was built in neo-classical style between 1890 and 1892, on the southeast corner of the Upper Market Square (today the dormitory of the Tamási Áron Grammar School). In May 1909, however, a new building was started again, based on the plans of Pápai Sándor, in eclectic Art Nouveau style, commissioned by the Transylvanian Roman Catholic State, next to the parish church on St. Nicholas Hill. Its initiator was Count Mikes János, Archdeacon of Udvarhely. The contractors were the entrepreneurs Király József and Spáda János. The consecration took place on 20 November 1910 in the presence of Bishop Majláth Gusztáv Károly.
Between 1940-44, the high school took the name of the former renowned student, Baróti Szabó Dávid. It was nationalised in 1948 and since 1990 it has borne the name of its former student, the writer Tamási Áron. It is one of the most important educational institutions of the Hungarian culture in Romania.
