Dragoș Vodă National College (Câmpulung Moldovenesc)

At the turn of the 20th century, when the area belonged to the Duchy of Bukovina in Austria-Hungary, the local inhabitants began to request a high school along the lines of the one in Suceava.

Among the first teachers of the gymnasium were Modest Cavaler de Sorocean, Dimitrie Logigan and Ion Ștefureac.

[1] World War I disrupted school life: teachers were drafted into the Austro-Hungarian Army, while Imperial Russia occupied the area.

The institution became a high school and was named after Dragoș, Voivode of Moldavia.

The name was dropped in 1948 by the nascent communist regime, which renamed it “Middle School”.
