FROM THE HISTORY OF THE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY HIGH SCHOOL, PIATRA-NEAMT

     Founding a new all-round education high school which could be at the same level with the existing ones, high schools with long tradition, like “Petru Rares”, was obviously an important event in the cultural sight of Piatra-Neamt. Therefore, by the order Nr. 5953 from 25th July 1968 the foundation of “Nr. 3 High school” Piatra-Neamt was approved.
    The new education centre was matching the momentary necessities of the town.
Between 1968 and 1970 the high school worked in a temporary centre at the elementary school “Elena Cuza” from Piatra-Neamt.
    The first principal was the biology teacher, Dragan Aspazia.
The new centre for Piatra-Neamt “Nr. 3 High school” would be given in use on 1st September 1970, on the actual location.
    If in the 1968-1969 school year, in the high school functioned 4 classes with 163 students, in 1970 the high school was working with 12 classrooms and 393 students:
I   year: 4 classrooms – 145 students;
II  year: 4 classrooms – 141 students;
III year: 4 classrooms – 126 students.
     There were 24 classrooms, two labs (physics, chemistry) and two workshops (of tailoring and wearing).
The high school was initially conceireed for a medium scholar population, but the students and parents interest for this high school grew, here the best teacher being hired.
    The first teachers who taught here were: Maria Dragoi, Valeria Stanescu, Antoaneta Stoica, Camelia Focsaneanu, Magda Negrea – French; Etto Geldfeld, Georgeta Ricinschi, Bogdan Chiritescu – Russian; Lucretia Popa, George Ciocan, Luiza Palamaru – Mathematics; Elena Udreanu – Chemistry; Vladimir Humeni, Rodica Ciocan, Ioan Besoiu – Physics; Vasile Iacob, Finareta Vârlan – History; Viorica vasiliu – Geography; Viorica Heel, Petru Gavriliu – Sports.
    Starting with 1973, the high school changes its title into the Piatra-Neamt “Energetic Industrial High school” being under the supervision of I.E. Bistrita and the Minister of Electrical Power. At that moment the high school was functioning with 14 classrooms and 471 students. The material base for the technico-practical training of the students, was increasing, with the foundation of a locksmith’s shop.
    This unit with industrial and energetic profile would regarded with great interest by students and parents, children being prepared into profiles and professions very appreciated at that moment: power stations, transmitters and lightning mains electricians, cars and hydroelectric equipment mechanical engineer.
    As a consequence of the increases, an important number of teachers and engineers being taken from the university launches, teachers who accomplished a great teaching career here, giving a high reputation and stability to the high school.
    The changes of the name of this high school continued, because in 1974 the high school changes its title into “Electrotehnic High school” being under the supervision of Bucharest Hydroelectric Constructions Corporation, now functioning 23 classrooms with 824 students. The school had important endowments for that period. Thus, with the employers and Minister of Electrical Power help, four more laboratories were being equipped: two locksmith’s shops, one welding and an electric shop.
    In 1975 a modern contain and in 1976 a boarding school were be given, in use, where were students arrived from different areas of the county or even from Moldova were received, the high school being the only one with this profile from Moldova.
    1976 marks the high school transformation into “Nr. 1 Industrial High school” having three technological training profiles: electrotechnics, mechanics, hydro constructions. Also the scholar population suffered a great increase, now being 27 classrooms with 980 students.
    In 1977 the laboratory building had been given in use being equipped with modern technology (lathes, welding machines, measure and control machines). There now were 5 work shops: two locksmith’s shops, one welding shop, one electrotechnics shop and one machines-tools.
    Students were benefiting from very good application training conditions, being distributed for the performing of this on well-known hydroelectric sites of the country: Cernavoda, Navodari, Sociu – Buzau etc.
    In 1978 a sports hall is added to the high school.
    Despite the difficulties this high school met, it evolved year by year thanks to the valuable existing didactic staff, which had been improving constantly and became a role model for the students and the residents of the town. There has been a loyal and permanent competition between teachers, to be connected with all the novelties from the didactic activity. In this period, place a succession of experience exchanges took place between teachers from all the country. The activities took place in our high school lent also in other high school like: Sibiu, Iasi, Onesti etc.
    The manuals changes determined experience exchanges, discussions, open lessons. In this way, the mathematics department carried a succession of activities: debates, methodical transforming of some chapters, open lessons required by the change of the geometry books. At these debates took part important names from well-known high school: Galati “V. Alecsandri” High school, Buzau “M. Eminescu” High school, Constanta etc.
    The main concern of the teaching staff was the efforts of improving for obtaining II and I teaching degrees with high scores, attending the improved classes in the methodical boards.
The high school teaching staff was organized in strong and prestigious departments.
- Romanian class: Stanescu Valeria, Cocan Rodica, Zaharescu Radu, Bunghez Coralia, Sturza Aurelia;
- Foreign languages: Focsaneanu Cornelia, Bordei Carmen, Craciun Virginia, Norocea Ecaterina, Mâinea Moldavia, Mella Ombretta;

    The high school fully deserves its “number one” name because, for two decades, here young men were properly trained who found their productive or who attended university courses. Over 90% of electro profile graduates attended courses in the higher education, being now doctors, university specialists, successful business men, executives and firm managers.
    The high school was a place of competence and professional offering for everybody: students, teachers, engineers and foremen, united in an ideal of kindness and of life preparation, despite of the tumultuous age we all crossed. So, we triumphed easier: the autumn agricultural works with daily commutation or permanent camps, the clearing of the town’s green spaces. The students of our high school brought themselves a major contribution to the medicinal plants, waste and paper gathering.
    Many trips and wonderings for students were organized and monthly, on Saturday, at the school’s refectory, cultural-fun evenings were organized.
    On the artistic-cultural level, many activities were developed, in which many students and teachers were involved as instructors: theatre, artistic brigades, literally circles, literary-musical stagings, coral groups, folk dance groups, vocal and instrumental soloists, reciters.
    Many of these were awarded in different stages of county, intercounty and national competitions, our high school being placed in a permanent contest with the best high schools of the county. In all these years the folk dance group was one of the best quoted at county and city level.
    On the first 3 places at county level, there were the artistic brigade, the vocal soloists and the reciters.
    Beyond office activity, the teachers participated at extraschool actions such as the population review, scientific informing activities developed in the factory clubs, in the women organizations, essays sessions and scientific communications.
    From the student groups with technic scientific and artistic character: the Romanian club and the literary artistic club, prof. Tifui Vasile si Rosu Elena; the biology club, Marculescu Silvia; the electronics club, eng. Mangâr Puiu; electrotechnics club, eng. Chelaru Mihai and eng. Anton Antoaneta; chemistry club, prof. Guzgan Tudorita, sport contests under the aegis of the UTC and of the Daciada.
    On sport line, our high school was placed in top of the handball, cross, table tennis, basket-ball and touristic orientation classification for girls and as well as boys. We are round that year after year our high school was the nursery of the county and national performance handball. So the “Fibrex Nylon” Savinesti team had been a long time formed by our exstudents. The boys handball team obtained gold medals in 1984, 1985, 1986 in the MEE championship and III rd national place in the Daciada.
    Heel Astrid was national champion at rhythmic gymnastics in 1989 and 1990, obtaining in 1990 the sport master title at this discipline. The handball teams were trained by Mrs. Hell Viorica.
    Many of the results and of the bold and valuable creations of the students are reflected in the local newspapers or through the problems published in special subject magazines.
    The results obtained by students and by their mentors at the school Olympiads and trade contests are worthy of being mentioned. We illustrate here some of then: Scutaru Maria – Romanian IInd award, county phase 1976, prof. Stanescu Valeria; Serpe Dumitru – physics IInd award, county phase and mention at national phase, 1977, prof. Ciocan Rodica; Ciuperca Petrisor – physics IInd award, county phase and IIIrd award at national phase, 1985; Paledu Nelu – Romanian language and literature, IInd award at county phase, mention at national phase, 1986; Murariu Tabita – biology Ist award at county phase, mention at national phase 1986, prof. Marculescu S; Popa Otilia – biology IInd award at county phase, 1986; Popa Elena – Romanian language and literature IInd award, 1987, prof. Cocan Rodica; Vasile Gheorghe – philosophy IInd award, county phase 1989.
    Our high school teams obtained Ist place and honour diploma in the trade contest in 1978, 1980, 1986, 1988; IInd place in 1983, 1987.
    An agreeable and instructive place is the High school library, where Mrs. Tifui Florica has been working since 1977, through offering and through her competence, the book stock has increased reaching at 25641 volumes. The book offer is very varied, from the art area to the classic and modern science, informaties, entertainment, universal literature and art albums area. In a relative limited space, are displayed albums, editorial noverties, autographs, advertising panels. The 1970-1989 years the mates lined happy moments of reverie in the “High school library” contest the high school library took the first place (national phase, 1988).
    In our high school, was developed a rich scientific and methodical research activity, some of the teachers being book and manual writers, publishing at publishing houses or at magazines of speciality. So, teacher Rosca Dumitru brought his contribution to the improvement of Maths teaching by the effectuation of some school experiments at the primary grades (I-IV), by the introduction and practical cheking of some western teaching methods.

All of these 1619 students had the possibility to study in 7 laboratories and 6 workshops. 80 professors worked for this high school: teachers, engineers and foremen with valuable knowledge proved by Ist and IInd degree exams.

THE WAY FROM THE INDUSTRIAL HIGH SCHOOL TO THE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY HIGH SCHOOL

    In 1990, as a result of the initiative of the head masters Rosu Elena and Mangâr Puiu, The Industrial High school No. 1 of Piatra-Neamt became The Informatics High school of Piatra-Neamt.
    Founded because of the permissive conditions after the Revolution, this modern high school had, during 1990 and 1991, 6 classes for 9th graders, with informatics profile, followed No. 1 continued in parallel, in 21 classes with 697 ten to twelve graders. There were also 7 classes with 197 students taking evening courses, a post-high school electrotechnics class and 4 classes of vocational school, with 116 students.
    So, it was a complex and dynamic school institution, which comprehended the requests of the ‘90s, using its informatics laboratories, rearranging its staff and giving to students a new channel on the job market.
The new orientation of the high school attracted, since the beginnings, a great number of applicants for this high school, the only one of the kind in the Neamt county.
    Because of the high interest shown by students and parents for this particular high school, the grades of the applicant didn’t fall under 758, during the entire period in which the admittance in 9th grade was made by a national exam.
    By the efforts of the headmaster Rosu Elena, two informatics laboratories were properly furnished in the summer of 1990. As a result, since 1990, the 9th graders who studied informatics could use in lab classes 40 CIP01 computing systems and 7 286 computers.
    The following years were permanently marked by the great number of initiatives of teachers for a good activity, in order to increase the high school’s prestige.
    In 1993-1994, the headmasters Dumitru Ene and Bordei Carmen purchase or three 386 computers and they signed in for the “Computers for High school” program, initiated by the Söros Foundation. This program brought 19 486 computers, a laser printer and a Minolta Xerox machine.
    In the year 2000, the I. T. High School in Piatra-Neamt was connected to the National Ministry of Education via INTERNET. Our modern Multimedia Laboratory was inaugurated in the same year.
    As a result of our high school headmaster’s interest in improving the activity in our computer labs, there have been acquired 83 computers for the labs and 3 computers for the secretariat and book-keeping jobs in the school year 2003-2004.
    The labs benefit from 6 computer networks using the AEL platform installed and functioning. For an efficient activity there have been brought 7 printers and 2 scanners.
    Since 2000 the I. T. High School has hosted the Center for computer allocation spreading secondary school pupils according to their results, all over the county.
    The efforts made by the leadership of our high school have been supported by the whole didactic staff.
When setting up, our high school had an exceptional didactic staff made up of only teachers in ordinary, over 90% having the 1st degree.
    Beginning with 1990-1991 and for the following 3 years Informatics teachers joined the collectivity being young graduates of the faculty with I.T. profile eager to assert themselves.
    The number of the students who participated into olympiads and other contests has increased since 1990-1991 and the results have improved either. Very good results have been achieved in the local and national contests, in the I.T. field such as: “Info Baby” organised at the I.T. High School in Iasi (1991, 1992), ELSACO Botosani, “Anghel Rugina” in Vaslui, “Unirea” in Focsani, “Urmasii lui Moisil” in Iasi in which all our students have been awarded every year.
    During the same period our students have taken part in the Mathematics contests such as: “Memorial St. Dirtu” in Vatra Dornei, “Memorial C. Cojocaru” in Roman, “Memorial M. Costeniuc” in P.Neamt and in the international contest “Gh. Titeica” in Craiova and “Radu Miron” in Vaslui.
    Some of the students attracted by studying the Romanian language and literature have taken part in contests such as “Tinere condeie”, “Excelsior” and they have written articles for the local press as well as for the magazines of our high school: “Liceum” coordinated by the Romanian language teacher R. Zaharescu and “Dialog” coordinated by the Romanian language teacher C. Diaconu, the latter being awarded in the school magazine competition in 2001.
    Students who are fond of Psysics have achieved great results in the inter-county contest “St. Procopiu” in Iasi getting prizes or mentions or solving many exercises and making interesting suggestions published in the Physics magazine “Evrika”.
    Chemistry is another favourite subject for many of our students as they took part in the contest “D. Nenitescu” in Bucharest in 1995 and they were awarded the 1st nad 2nd prize.
    Loving Informatics, our students have participated in many scientific sessions in which have always been awarded. Such events are to be mentioned: the International Scientific Conference in Information Technology and scientific Economics, in Chisinau. In which both E. Costrachievici / Informatics teacher and Olaru V. student were awarded.
    Other prizes have been received by our students in contests such as: the inter-county “Infoeducatia” in Focsani; a contest for projects and paper works in Timisoara; the inter-county project contest organized by C.S.C. Piatra-Neamt; in the scientific session “Lumina si Cunoastere” in Durau.
    The team of our High school the 2nd prize in the programming contest organized by PROTV in summer 1997.
The International Maths Contest “Kangourou” has gathered many students of our High school among which: Manolache L. and Farcasanu B. who got the 1st prize at national level in 1995 and 1996.
     Beginning with 1990 the percent of the graduates has above 90 and in the past 6 years has reached 100.
Since students are admitted in high schools according to computer allocation the admittance average mark at our high schools hasn’t been bellow 8,62.
    And the percentage of our graduates admitted in universities has gone up a lot after 1990, reaching about 94% at present.
    Most part of our graduates choose to take exams at different faculties, such as: Information Technology, Automatization and Computers, Economics, Medicine, Laws, Philology.
    More graduates have got their Mater’s Degree in different countries in Western Europe, such as: France, England, Germany, Italy, or their Doctor’s Degree at creditable universities in Europe or the U.S.A.
    Most of the former students awarded at the National Olimpiada of Information Technology are, now, employees at MICROSOFT (U.S.A.).
    Caloianu Ciprian, a former student of our High School, who was awarded 1st or 2nd prize in the contest mentioned above during the school years 1995-1996, 1996-1997, 1997-1998 and 1998-1999 has attended courses at the University of Arkansas-City in the U.S.A. since 1999, being the representative of the U.S.A. in the International Olimpiada of Computer Science and during 1999-2000 he was declared “The best student of the year” at the same university.
     Initiative and Competition are two features which characterize our High School. The activities organized with the students in our High School have meant to create a communication bridge between the young generation and financial or banking institutions.
    On this purpose teacher Daniela Neamtu has organized a session of scientifique communication entitled “Monetary Issues” in which students from all the High School in our county presented their works.
    Students of our High School got two 1st prizes and a 2nd prize in the contest organized by Danilov Jaroslav, teacher of Informatics; the contest entitled “Market – Sim – Simulating the capital market” is unique in our country and was sponsored by the Mobiliary Values Society ROMAXA. The competition aimed at familiarization of the students with the mechanism of the capital market.
    Since its setting up, in 1990, the Information Technology High School in Piatra-Neamt has Kept its unique profile – intensive Informatics – with a number of 25 high school forms and 4 secondary school forms and 69 teachers who have carried out their activity in 29 classrooms, 6 informatics laboratory.
    There is a very valuable library of the High School which hosts and displays books and magazines belonging to different areas such as informatics, literature, arts and other subjects.
     Most part of the veteran teachers handed in their “mission” to the passion and professionalism since they came in our High School. This fact has been materialized in the good and very good results achieved by their students in competitions and contest as well as in the great number of teachers in ordinary, teachers with the 1st and 2nd degree, teacher trainers, coordinators of published works etc., as it follones: Irimia E. Genoveva (Mathematics), Rosu E. (Mathematics), Meicu O. (Mathematics); Borcea L. (Mathematics), Gavril St. (Mathematics), Ganu A. (Physics), Guzgan T. (Chemistry), Selaru G. (French), Jilavu A.

     A vast and sustained activity has been carried out within all the curricular areas such as: Mathematics, Romanian language, Physics, History, Geography, Biology, Foreign languages, Informatics, motivated by the publishing of two magazines “Dialog” (which was awarded the 2nd prize in the school year 2002-2003) and “Liceum”.
    The magazine “Recreatia Verde” has been published since December 1997 and edited by the members of the debating circle called “Info-natura” under the guidance of the teacher Fronea Mariana.
Many teachers write articles and propose exercises for different magazines, various school contests and Olimpic contests; they also collaborate to publish various collections of exercises. They are Gavril Stefan, Neta Ciprian, Meicu Otilia, Rosu Elena, Ganu Aurica, who have published in the magazine: “Apostolul”, “Dialoguri matematice nemtene”, “Evrika” and also. Irimia Elena Genoveva and Gavril Stefan are the authors of some exercise collections and methodic publications.
    The debating group of journalism was set up at the beginning of the school year 2002-2003 and it is coordinated by professors Selaru Georgeta and Zaharescu Carmen. Its members edit a magazine called “Infopuls” which is very appreciated by the students. Some of the members participated in the National Camp of Jurnalism which took place in July 2003, in Ciric, Iasi. All the participating students were awarded with diplomas and prizes. The French teacher Georgeta Selaru, who accompanied the students to the Camp, was awarded a diploma of honor.

The coordinator of this project is Georgeta Selaru, French teacher.
    In 2003 the Math’s teacher Glodeanu Elena was awarded a diploma and a plate with the distinction “For meritorious activity” by ISJ Neamt, for her remarkable activity and merits. The Math’s teacher Borcea laurentiu, was also given a distinction by ISJ Neamt for meritorious results as a headmaster of the Information Technology High School.
    The History teachers Ana Lacatusu and Elena Asandei prepared the high school team for the contest “Inteligence and creativity in the history of Romanian people”, where they were awarded the 1st prize.
    For the moment, there are 69 persons from the teaching personnel who carry out their activity in this high school: 46 are teachers in ordinary, 5 detached teachers who have the first degree, 10 with the second degree, 18 of them have the tenure and 14 are beginners. The auxiliary personnel are: 2 secretaries, 1 librarian, 2 laboratory assistants, 1 system engineer, 1 informatician, 3 technicians and among non didactic personnel there are: 3 accountants, 1 administrator and 19 workers.
    Beginning with the school year 2003-2004, the new leadership of the high school represented by our younger colleague, professor doctor in philosophy Daniela Neamtu – headmaster and Gheorghe Manolache – deputy head, proposed some goals and aims that are to be accomplished in the following period.
    From a conceptual point of view the school leader board is promoting didactic principles such as: a positive motivation for study, a growth in the interest of keeping up with the educational process, linking education with the practical aspects of life, promoting new modern methods of study adapted also to the quality of human and material resources.
    From a strategic and tactical point of view we follow to ensure a good management, the increasing of efficiency of methodic activities, a stronger collaboration with parents, sponsors and representatives of the local community in order to resolve school’s problems.
    From the point of view of the material and financial resources, the school functions with training spaces such as: 3 buildings with classrooms, laboratories, offices, informatics laboratories with an internet connection, 1 hostel building, 1 canteen and a gymnasium.
    The fitting out of a modern multimedia laboratory was a real success and another one is being built now. In this laboratory the teachers of informatics from the high school have held training courses with the headmasters from the county, secretaries and accountants of these schools.
    Also, in the past years, many classrooms have been equipped with new furniture, thanks to the contribution of parents. For the future we hope to replace some windows, too.
    Social and professional counseling and orientation, in organizing festivities (High School Days, Freshmen Ball, Graduation Banquet, organizing scientific sessions) attracting physical and juridical persons, who by financial contributions, have supported the upgrading of the educational activities and of the material resources.
    Another viable organism in the high school is the Advisory Assembly of Pupils that debates once a month the stringent problems of students, thus becoming a bridge between the pupil’s group and the school board, ensuring the feed back of communication.
    Under the leading strings of the headmaster Laurentiu Borcea and the deputy head Gheorghe Manolache, the general sanitization, the hygiene process, the renewal of some educational places, as well as the fitting up of the headmasters’ offices have been finalized. There are also taken into account the construction of a new fence, the redecoration of the interior area, the refurbishment of the secretary’s and the teacher’s room, fitting the modern standards, and finding solutions for solving the problems of the heating system.
    The reorganization of the Administration Assembly (teachers: Rosu Elena, Ungureanu Florentina, Selaru Georgeta, Costrachievici Elena, Guzgan Tudorita, Borcea Laurentiu; accountant: Cojoc Viorica), ensures the best evolution and performance of the educational and informative activities, and establishing the responsibilities of the groups, commissions and subcommissions.
    The team of the Administration Assembly has developed a dynamic, realistic pattern of teamwork aiming the diagnosis and prognosis of problems that may arise in the school, targeting the promotion of an improved image of the Information Technology High School at the municipal and national levels.
    The Information Technology High School, due to its past results which we want to improve in the next few years, is a unit that is structured as a continuous progressing factor of the community, through its contribution in forming citizens, a representative unit for the intellectual life due to its values given in all activity domains.
