Vadim Krasnoselsky is in Kamenka district. He is assessing the implementation of work under the Capital Investment Fund program. He visited a school in Katerinovka. It has been included in the state capital investment program for three years. The roof and the gym were repaired in 2022, attention was paid to the kitchen and ceilings next year, in 2024 – to the heating system. 3.6 million rubles have been allocated over three years. The President visited this educational institution more than once and insisted on including the school in the social infrastructure renewal program. Further plans were discussed today. They plan to renew the floors in the corridors (they are currently wooden) and replace the doors of the classrooms next year. There is a need to modernize the facade of the building and bring the school yard into proper condition. The territory is being looked after, but the surface has fallen into disrepair. The plans for the future include paving with paving slabs.
They talked about additional equipment for the gym and, possibly, organizing sports activities on this site outside of school hours for everyone.
The school is large. It is designed for 600 students. Today, 107 people attend it. This year, there is no tenth grade, and in the 11th grade, there are ten graduates, the Head of State was told. There are 22 teachers, almost half of whom graduated from the school of Katerinovka.
The history of the educational institution is interesting. They celebrated their 90th anniversary this year. January 24, 1934 is considered the founding day. This is the date of the unification of two schools – a parish school, which functioned since 1887, and an elementary zemstvo school, opened in 1908, and later renamed into a labor school. The number of students reached 550 after the Great Patriotic War. A new school building was needed. The entire district built it. They coped in record time. They put it into operation in 1949. A quarter of a century later, another building was added to the main one, in which the most spacious gymnasium among the schools in the district was built, with an area of 288 square meters. The school in Katerinovka was a seven-year school named after Lenin, a secondary school with Ukrainian as the language of instruction, and a secondary Russian-language school during its history. The secondary school has been named after A.S. Pushkin since 2009. 13 headmasters have been changed over 90 years, including Fyodor Zharchinsky, who later became a Hero of the Soviet Union. One and a half thousand people (67 classes) graduated from the school in Katerinovka.
