The school had its own building and boarding house, acquired with the help of the Bulgarian benefactor Evlogi Georgiev.
The idea of founding a school in Thessaloniki itself belonged to a well-known activist of the Bulgarian national revival Kuzman Shapkarev.
Kuzman Shapkarev had been appointed a head teacher of both the boys 'and girls' high schools in the city.
Until its closure by the new Greek authorities in 1913, the high school prepared 22 outputs with a total of 647 graduates.
Among the directors of the high school were Georgi Kandilarov, Marin Pundev, Hristo Batandzhiev, Mihail Sarafov (1895 - 1896), Yordan Nikolov (1910 - 1911) etc.
