    Our school was founded in 1972. In 1984 the school was named after the Heroes of Monte Cassino. This patronage is a great honour and it obliges the students to organize yearly celebrations commemorating the battle of Monte Cassino. Thanks to the patronage, participation of the veterans in various celebrations (such as Christmas or the battle anniversary) has become our tradition. Our school has a lot to offer: high standards of teaching, well-qualified staff, as well as high quality equipment, such as computers. There are chemistry and physics laboratories. A large computerized reading room, school library and a cafeteria are at students' disposal. The school newspaper is published monthly.
