History

Zimnicea Theoretical High School, in the town of Zimnicea, has been operating in its current location for 31 years, being the result of a donation from the Swiss Government, made to the town following the devastating earthquake of March 4, 1977. The construction of this group of buildings took a record 112 days, causing the high school to be inaugurated in the same year, 1977, on December 17, in the presence of the Swiss ambassador to Bucharest and representatives of the Ministry of Education and Training of the Socialist Republic of Romania, the official name of the country at the time.
