BASIC INFORMATION ABOUT OUR SCHOOL 

A Few words about us

We are a secondary grammar school with a 90-year long tradition.

Founded by the Moravia-Silesian region, we are the only secondary school in Bohumín offering a complete secondary general education both in 4-year and 8-year long courses.

Our school, named after the former professor of Mathematics and school headmaster František Živný, is situated in a peaceful area of the municipal park surrounding it.

Education of young people – both 5th grade and 9th grade elementary school leavers from Bohumín and its neighbourhood-  is provided by 26-28 fully qualified secondary school teachers whose aim is to arouse students´ interest in various subjects.   We are trying to get them to understand that studying is not about learning everything by heart, on the contrary, it´s more about searching for mutual relations and drawing their own conclusions and connections. We are trying to create a pleasant atmosphere in our school, at the same time, however, we want them to respect certain rules which will help them also in their future life. After all, they will need a fine sense of honesty, truthfullness and diligence in today´s hectic society. We believe that these qualities together with the acquired scientific knowledge will supply our future graduates with foundation for their further professional growth.  And last but not least, it is our wish that the graduates will consider the years spent at their „alma mater“ to be one of the happiest periods of their campus life and will be glad to come back.

FEW WORDS ABOUT THE HISTORY OF OUR SCHOOL

Our school was founded in 1921 as the Czech state reformatory grammar school starting with  only 51 students (43 boys and 8 girls) of 8-year long course. The schooling was demanding and only 17 out of the 43 students passed the Maturita exam (school leaving exam) at that time.

The school grounds and rooms changed frequently in the past and the school building as it looks today was built in 1929. In 1938 the town of Bohumín belonged to Poland so there was a Polish grammar school in the building. In 1939 the Polish grammar school was  closed down as Bohumín was occupied by the Germans so they opened their „Oberschule“ here.  Between 1943-1944 the German military administrative unit took the building for its use and a military hospital was established here.   

The Czech grammar school was reopened in September 1945 with 10 members of teaching board. The 1st headmaster after the war was professor František Živný, whose name has been part of our school name since 1996. The character of the school was influenced by various scholastic reforms in the past, the length of the study and subjects have changed  and the number of students have gradually increased to more than 500 students in 1980s.

Since 1970s the school building has been reconstructed to a large extent and also the former headmaster´s villa standing next to the school building became part of the school.  Now there are specialized rooms for computer science and elementary administration. In 1999 the building facade was repaired together with basements and a new playing field with artificial surface was built.

From 2005-2007 the recontruction of windows was carried out and 265 old wooden windows were replaced by new modern plastic ones. In 2008 the front part of the school fence was reconstructed with the cost of 1,9 mil. Czech crowns.  Later on, in 2009, the roof of the school gym and both the school attics were newly insulated.
