Our History

Leon Kruczkowski High School in Tychy was established in 1953 as a result of a decision of local authorities in Katowice. On the 20th of August that year, there was the first conference conducted by Franciszek Teper and on the 29^th, after the first entrance exam, 40 students were admitted. For some time the school was housed in different buildings, until on the 24^th of March 1963 it was given new premises at Korczaka street, where it is still situated. Then the school was also named as Leon Kruczkowski High School to commemorate a famous Polish playwright, with whom the first headteacher, Franciszek Teper, spent 5 years in the prisoner of war camps (Arnswalde, Grossborn) during the Second World War.

Four years later, on the 24^th of June 1967,  parent-teacher association provided the school with its own flag. The school started developing and every year it got bigger and bigger.

Today the school may boast its own library, a huge common room, doctor’s surgery, sports facilities, an IT lab, a climbing wall and well-equipped classrooms. There is also a School Gallery of Painting and Graphic Art.
