Rakovs′koho; Bulgarian: Болградска гимназия „Георги Сава Раковски“, Bolgradska gimnazia „Georgi Sava Rakovski“) is a gymnasium (high school) in Bolhrad, Odesa Oblast, southwestern Ukraine.

As early as 1832, Ukrainian Slavist Yuriy Venelin had suggested that Bolhrad become a centre of Bulgarian culture and education in the Russian Empire; however, the idea was not put into practice at the time.

On 10 June 1858 in Iași, the Caimacam granted trust committee members Nikola Parushev and Panayot Grekov a charter permitting the establishment of the high school.

[4] The school's own edifice was completed in 1873; the gymnasium remained financially independent from state and church, as it relied on income from rents.

His attempt to link the southern Bessarabian lakes with the Danube Delta through a series of canals was vetoed by the high school, which stood to lose its fishing income.

[12] Around 1930, when Romanian Bessarabia was dominated by the National Peasants' Party, the trustees included H. Hristoforov and Boris Kamburov, who were themselves members of that political group.

[13] The school had continued as a financially self-sufficient center of learning: in 1932, it still had a budget of 1.8 million lei, with only some 500,000 being used to house and feed its 450 boarding-house interns.

In these circumstances, the Bulgarian trustees decided to donate profits toward the upkeep of primary schools in places such as Cartal, Etulia, Frecăței, Împuțita, and Vulcănești.

The local students, assisted by teacher Gheorghe Bujoreanu, were putting out a Romanian-language magazine called Familia Noastră ("Our Family");[15] it was later edited by Cavarnali.

[12] In 1938–1940, Carol suspended democracy in favor of a single-party regime, centered on the National Renaissance Front—whose youth movement was called Straja Țării.
