Short History of the School• The school was founded on the 1st of September 1961 and at the time it was

named “The Middle School No. 5”- Craiova .• In 1966 the school became a theoretical high school and its location was in

Vasile Alecsandri Street, no. 97. • On the 31st of January   1968, in accordance with the Presidential Decree no. 76,

our school was given the name of the great Romanian poet Tudor Arghezi.• Beginning with the 1st of September 1977, the school moved to new premises on

the Technological Street, No.2 near the Faculty of Electro-Mechanics. The school stopped being a theoretical school, becoming a school which prepared students to work in industry.

• Since 1990 our school has become a theoretical school again, which means that the students attending our school enlarge their general knowledge in order to continue their university studies.

• In September 2003 “Tudor Arghezi” High School and “Titu Maiorescu” Middle School No. 11 merged and since then the school has got students from the 1st to the 12th grade and the location of the school is in Bucovina Street, No. 5, Craiova.

Adevarul de seara Editor: Laura Pumnea

• Although this was a strike day, for the students and teachers in “Tudor Arghezi” High School this day looked more like a celebration day. The students didn’t attend classes, but they were still present because many of them were involved in all kinds of artistic and sports activities. All these were meant to draw the people’s attention upon the necessity to protect de environment, which is in fact the main objective of the Comenus project „Is There Anyone Hearing Me?!“, involving six European countries.

Recyclable Clothes’ Parades

• Middle school students have proven that you can wear anything and still look good without harming the environment. „I’m wearing a skirt made out of a recyclable garbage bag, and on the head I have a crown made out of biodegradable card box. “I’m a sunflower: said Andra Giubegeanu, from the VIIth form. The other colleagues were dressed up as mushrooms, butterflies, parrots or trees.
