History

On the place of the current high school, from 1863 to 1949, there was the Boys' State Primary School no. 6. The Girls' State Primary School no. 3 also functioned in this area between 1896 and 1949, being initially a Catholic confessional school. In 1902 the building became the property of the City Hall, with a secular board, and the language of instruction was Hungarian (until 1926 when the Romanian language was introduced, creating a German and a Hungarian section).[2]

In its current form, the Grigore Moisil High School is one of the young schools of Timișoara, being established in 1971. It was one of the first five computer science high schools in Romania, along with those in Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca, Iași and Brașov, all founded in 1971, under the name of "high schools for automatic data processing".[3] The old buildings were demolished in 1970, and a new three-level school was built in their place according to a Swedish-inspired plan presented by architect Nicolae Dâncu; the building was completed in late 1972.[2] Over time, the high school was equipped with simple electronic equipment such as office computing machines. Until 1978, the high school did not have a computer to use, all the work and training of the students being done on the computer at the Computer Center in the city. In 1978 the high school was equipped by transfer from the Computer Center with a Felix C256, which was used until 1984. During this period it was under the direct coordination of the Central Institute of Informatics (ICI) in Bucharest. After 1985, ICI was disbanded and the high school passed under the coordination of the Institute of Electrotechnical Research and Design (ICPE), which introduced electrical engineering classes and laboratories that functioned until 1989. From 1990 all electrical engineering classes were abolished and returned to computer science classes, and the institution became the Computer Science High School; in 1992, it was given the name of Romanian mathematician Grigore Moisil.[4]
