George Barițiu National College (Romanian: Colegiul Național George Barițiu) is a high school located at 10 Emil Isac Street, Cluj-Napoca, Romania, named after George Bariț.
Nearly a year after the union of Transylvania with Romania, the school opened in October 1919 by order of the Directing Council, making it the first Romanian high school in Cluj.
In 1940, following the Second Vienna Award, which returned Northern Transylvania, including Cluj, to Hungary, two Romanian sections functioned in the same building, one for boys and another for girls, the latter until 1942; neither used the Barițiu name.
In 1944, after the Hungarian occupation ended, the old name was restored and the school initially operated with eight classes of boys.
[1] In 1948, after the onset of the communist regime, the name of Barițiu was again dropped.
