- Administrative/biographical history:
- The school was founded in accordance with the 1924 Romanian primary education law, with lessons in Romanian and German. It had one teacher for 60 pupils in the first four grades and one for 40 pupils in the other three grades. The first director of the school was Adrian Glican. In 1939, a new law made seven years of primary education compulsory and free and instituted teacher training courses. From 1940–44 the Hungarian educational system was reintroduced, and in 1948 education in Romania was reformed again under the communists.
