Dragoș Vodă high school in Sighetu Marmației

Dragoș Vodă high school in Sighetu Marmației, Historic educational monument in Sighetu Marmației, Romania.

Dragoș Vodă National College occupies a building constructed by the Piarist order in 1911–1912 at the corner of Jókai Mór and Școlii streets, at the end of the Roman Catholic church park. The school is a historic monument; its address is 14 Mihai Viteazul Street.

The Piarist order built the present building in 1911-1912 at the corner of Jókai Mór and Școlii streets, next to the Roman Catholic church park; the Piarists had run a gymnasium in Sighet since 1721, accredited as a royal gymnasium in 1737. In 1919 the Directing Council founded Dragoș Vodă, the first Romanian-language high school in Maramureș, which moved into the former Piarist building in 1920-1921. In 1940 the Second Vienna Award transferred the school back to the Piarists with Hungarian as the language of instruction, and the library books were burned in the schoolyard. From 1944 it reopened as a mixed Romanian school, in 1948 the name Dragoș Vodă was dropped, and it returned in the 1970s.

The school's name honours Dragoș, Voivode of Moldavia. A Hungarian-language section opened in its third year, and from 1960 to 1961 it taught in Romanian, Hungarian and Ukrainian; the Ukrainian section became the separate Taras Shevchenko high school after 1990. Its alumni include painter Simon Hollósy and writer Alexandru Ivasiuc.

The school building is centrally located in Sighetu Marmației and easily accessible on foot or by local transport. Keep in mind this is an active learning space where access may be limited during school hours, so it helps to plan ahead when visiting.

In 1938 the National Renaissance Front set up Straja Țării cells at the school; Thursday was Straja day, when regular classes were cancelled for sports, marches, songs, trips, shelter building and morning gymnastics. The school archive, thought lost in 1940, was found in 1946 at Gheorghe Lazăr High School in Sibiu and returned.
