History

Stanislaviv gymnasium

In 1905, the Austrian government agreed to open a Ukrainian gymnasium in Stanisławów in response to demand from the Ukrainian community. The gymnasium was initially located in leased premises at 26 Jan III Sobieski Street. In 1908 it moved to Lypova Street. Mykola Sabat (1867–1930) was its first principal, and served the school in that role from 1905 to 1919 and from 1923 to 1927. One of the streets in the city is named after him. In 1939, the Stanislaviv Ukrainian gymnasium was abolished by the Soviet government and reorganized into a secondary school.
