Back from the school year 1993/94 originates the idea to publish the events and results of the year in a yearbook. From this time on, we begin each school year with the past. Our yearbook documents the high points of the school year and worth knowing over teachers and students. This year we have arrived to the 10^th edition. Ten years are a long way not only for humans, but also in the life of a school. The large and fast events of the world affected also our school.

Since that time the commercial academy and the grammar school functioned in all documents as an institution. At the moment – although the daily life connects the two schools – they are independent, with own legal status and have their own household. The entry and proving of educational and economic results require considerable effort and takes away much energy from the daily educational work.

Ten years ago 438 students attended the thirteen classes of the commercial academy, including four Slovak classes with 141 students. In the re-opened grammar school we had 98 students. The students came from 104 villages and towns. The number of the teaching staff consisted at that time of 39 colleagues, four of them free-lance teachers. The teacher staff worked closely together with the four educational advisers and 21 employees. Our students were national champions in athletics, they won on different typing competitions, the grammar school students acquired the second place on the “Ki mit tud?” competition, the members of the historical specialized circles got further to the national finals. The winner of the competition “Verš 93” came also from our school.

Owing to our sponsors and the donation ball in the school year 1993/94 we could spend SKK 154.035, - on teaching materials.

And what are we occupied nowadays with? If we regard only the numbers, our school is visited by 616 students. The commercial academy has 17 classes with 486 pupils and the grammar school 130 students. The study average at the commercial academy was 1.77 and at the grammar school 1.68.

The teaching staff has also grown. Today 54 teachers educate at this school, only a few of them are not qualified. It is a pleasant feeling to know, that under the colleagues are eleven former students.

In the past years were often made financial reports over buying teaching materials. This task had highest priority, because we needed new materials. Up to today we have solved this problem. Our school disposes of three computer study rooms, a Media Centrum, a subject-specific classroom for economics and there are 51 electronic type-writers for students available. The school is connected with 56 computers to the Internet. In further specialised classroom for languages and history and in the teacher’s room the members of the training body and the students can use computers, televisions, videos and other teaching materials. In the school year 1996/97 our school was extended by a new gym.

On the basis these results one can state we have achieved the necessary. Now the essential point, we have to concentrate indeed on the quality. This is a fastidious task, so it needs in addition much energy. On these efforts we cannot report however with numbers or piece data. On the PHARE and SOCRATES projects we work closely together with the partner schools – the Deák Ferenc specialized school for economics and computer studies in Győr, as well as the Vocational Academy, a Hunagrian-English high school also in Győr. Owing to the Vocational Academy we got in touch with Grantham College in England.

And not least, for the quality speak the results of our students at different competitions, the successful ECDL examinations, as well as the number of accepted students on national and foreign universities.
