          SCHOOL BACKGROUND:

        In 1922, at the request of the employees of the railway station "Merefa", a seven-year school was opened № 47 (director - Danilevich Alexander Andreevich: 1923-1928). The construction of a new school building began with Kovalenko Gavrila Andreevich, who from 1928 to 1934 was the director. In 1930, DIProTrans in Leningrad prepared a project for the school, and in 1932 the foundation was laid, but construction was temporarily suspended. In 1934 the main walls were erected, then gradually by 1936 construction was completed.

During the occupation of Merefa, the school building was used by the Nazis, and only after the liberation of the city in 1943 did the school continue its educational process. But the school building was finally restored only in 1950.
