History

The monument was erected by the students of the school on 13 May 1843 in memory of the illustrious teacher of the long-established grammar school (founded in 1670), Backamadarasi Kiss Gergely (1737-1787), as a token of gratitude. He built the school building between 1771 and 1772, and in 1781 the Reformed church in front of the school, which dominates the image of the town centre. The school took over the name of its former teacher in 2002.
