history
The school was founded in 1880 by decision of the Ministry of Culture ( Cisleithanien ) by Paul Gautsch von Frankenthurn as the “KK Männergymnasium zu Sanok” (1912 “Queen Sophia Gymnasium and State Lyceum”) in the house in Cerkiewna Street, the former Siemianowski Foundation House and further structures set up on the same street. In the first year of school it was attended by 63 exclusively male students. Schoolgirls were accepted from 1908. In 1883 the school applied to the town council for a new building and was opened by Mayor Cyryl Ładyżyński.
In the spring of 1915 to 1916, then under Russian occupation of the western parts of Galicia , the previous Austro-Galician students took the Matura at the grammar schools in Vienna. When the war began in 1939, the school building was used as a hospital. During the war, the Polish Public Trade School only operated within the framework of the Nazi state . In October 1944 the professors were able to start again with some classes of a high school for girls and boys in "Buda".
The school was renamed General Karol Świerczewski -Gymnasium in 1983 . From 1973 the school entered a new building on Zagrody Street at the Ministry of Education. At the moment, after finishing high school, students can choose between four types of other types of school that continue to exist.
This tradition is continued today by the 1st General Education Lyceum “Commission for National Education” (Polish I Liceum Ogólnokształcące im. Komisji Edukacji Narodowej w Sanoku).
In December 1990 the school was named after Queen Sophia again.
