History

The first school year opened on 3 November 1880. The first building of the institution was the barracks of the Székely border guards (next to the Catholic Church), which was shut down after the 1848-49 Hungarian War of Independence. The present building was inaugurated on 31 August 1891 and the school has been operating in this building since the 1892 school year.

The construction costs were paid from the income of the Csík Private Properties.

In the summer of 1927, the Civil School for Girls was closed down and continued to operate as Petru Rareş Primary School. It was transformed into a mixed school for boys and girls, the language of instruction became Romanian. As a result of the Second Vienna Award, the school reverted to the name of Csíkszereda Civic Girls' School and the Hungarian language of instruction from the beginning of the 1940-41 school year.

In 1949, the communists shut down the school, and the Teacher Training Institute, founded in 1858, moved in from Csíksomlyó. The period 1949-1955 was the period of the Teacher Training Institute and its training school.

In 1955, the Teacher Training Institute was closed down and the institution continued to operate under the name of Elementary School No. 1 in Csíkszereda. In 1966, Romanian classes were gradually established at the elementary level, and in 1985, the Romanian section of the high school was also established.

The first consequence of the fall of communism in 1989 was the abolition of the mixed-language school, at the demand of Hungarian pupils, parents and teachers. The Hungarian-language Primary School No. 1 was re-established, and on 14 March 1990 it was renamed Petőfi Sándor Primary School.
