History
The building of the high school was built in 1902 on the banks of the Vérke river.
However, this did not address the problem of students commuting from villages and other towns. There was a need for an accommodation that would have housed these students.
In 1936, the student lodge was built from public donations to accommodate the rural students of the high school.
In 1945, with the Soviet occupation, the Hungarian grammar school and the student lodge were abolished. The Hungarian high school was turned into a Ukrainian high school (the town had a negligible Ukrainian population). The student lodge became a home for students with intellectual disabilities.
The Hungarian high school, which reopened in 1991, was allowed to move into the former building of the student lodge in 1993, as the high school was retained by the Ukrainians. The town still has a Hungarian majority despite state-organized Ukrainian migration during the Socialist era.
In 1995, the bust of Prince Bethlen Gábor of Transylvania was unveiled in the school yard. The Principality of Transylvania symbolized Hungarian independence agains Habsburg oppression during the 17th century.
