History of the school

The complex of buildings was built in 1905. From that time tot the second World War he building operated the school for German officers’ wives.

The school was founded on 1^st October 1945 and it was the first secondary girls’ school in Piła after the Second World War. All the students and teachers were involved in renovating the school building. In the next three years five different profiles were created in the school. They included education in the fields of dressmaking, home economics and gastronomy. At the same time the library and students’ dormitory were founded.

On 1^st September 1950 Technical Secondary School of Gastronomy was founded. One year later the then school headmaster created a Vocational School.

The constant reorganization and renovation of classrooms allowed to develop the educating process and to establish in 1967 a 4-year technical school and a 3-year vocational school which exist until today.

In the 1980s and 1990s a lot of innovations and changes were conducted in the school building. Modern catering and cooking classrooms, a sports hall, gym and field were formed. Newly renovated and well equipped classrooms constituted the perfect base to introduce education in modern professions like waiter, catering technician and hotel industry technician.

On 21^st October 2005 the 60^th Anniversary of School Foundation was celebrated. 354 graduates came to commemorate the old times. The guests, teachers and students took part in the ceremonial mass and the gala in Cultural centre in Piła as well as in a great ball organized in Gromada Hotel.

The last but not least renovation step was building the new sports hall which offers exquisite conditions to practise all kinds of team and individual sports.

Moreover, since 2008 The Youth Hostel situated in Okrzei Street has become a part of our school.

Today, after the renovation of the building, the Technical Secondary School in Piła is one of the most beautiful historical views in Piła.
