3. 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.

Anyone Hearing Me?!“. The guests were treated with drama, music, dances and joy, all these
culminating with traditional Romanian food, prepared by the students in the XI-th form.
• 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.
