HISTORY OF OUR SCHOOL

The 20^th High School of Patras was founded in 1986 and it used to share premises with the 44^th Primary School of Patras until 1998. Since 1998-99 we moved to our new promises and we have been operating on a morning shift.

Since the school year 1999-2000 our school is taking part in a) the program “Odysseas” which is meant to train teachers throughout Greece on using computers for their teaching and b) the program “Epidaurus” which caters for the creation of school libraries and which has started getting organised in our school since January, 2000.

Our School has got a capacity of about 130 students divided in 7 classes. Most of the students come from Perivola on the outskirts of Patras, where the school is situated. There are also students coming from Neo Souli , a village on the foot of Mt Panahaiko.

The number of Teachers working here is about 22 on a permanent basis as well as on a temporary basis, coming from all faculties. At times, in cooperation with their teachers, the students have worked on different activities and projects which enrich the culture of the area and the school as well, such as theatrical performances or environmental programs.
