History

A memorial plaque was placed on the facade of the school in Petőfi Square in 1911. Petőfi Sándor, the great poet of the Hungarian Revolution and War of Independence, stayed in Ungvár between July 11 and 12 in 1847. The Rusyns supported the independence of Hungary and a significant number of Rusyn insurgents, including Greek Catholic priests, fought alongside the Hungarians.
