Since it was an eleven-year school, the
major task was to engage qualified staff.The school management was lucky
to have employed outstanding methodics experts, Mrs. Vozáriková and Mrs.
Minichová. Qualified and active teachers were engaged to teach in higher
grades. Mr. Polóny mentioned Mr. Sedlák, Mr. Podolský, Mrs. Chalupová, Mrs.
Zoldyová and Mrs. Kolková in his memoirs. They were later joined by Mr.
Richter, Mr. Kandráč, Mrs. Drobná, Mrs. Holubová, Mrs. Gažová and Mrs. Maňuchová.
Mr. Štefanec, the headmaster, and Mr. Polóny, the vice-headmaster, laid
emphasis on modern teaching, psychological approach to students, pedagogical
tact as well as aesthetisation of education. The general level of the school
was very high from the beginning and it met with a wide reception among
parents. The number of classes of the ninth, tenth and eleventh grades was
very low in the first years , because there was also an elementary school
in the same building. That was why the school´s management had to decline
a lot of applying students. There were over 40 students in each class. The
structure of the school in the first three years was Eight grades of elementary
school and three grades of secondary school.
