3. The Story
Its original institution, the Debrecen szabad királyi város Főreáltanodája was opened on November 3, At that time it was a boys only school, its main topics were modern languages, mathematics and natural sciences. Its building was designed by Károly Meixner and was started in 1891 and in 1893 its gates opened for the students.

4. The Current Name
The name "Fazekas Mihály" was adopted in 1922, and it became a high school in 1934, when the education system was standardised. Since then the institution showed strong results in real science education.

5. The Name-giver
Mihály Fazekas (Debrecen, 1766 January 6 – Debrecen, 1828 February 23) was a Hungarian writer from Debrecen. He was an army private for seven years before being commissioned as a Hussar officer. As a hobby, Fazekas studied the natural sciences (botany) and wrote poetry. His poetry expressed his enlightened disgust with warfare and violence and brought to light the social injustices of his society.

6. The Near Past
Between 1956 and 1961 the school lost many of its status as being a training school for the Debrecen University and became more polytechnics style. In 1961 the system was changed back to the old system, including educating teachers, special maths and foreign languages, and the school became co-educated as it was opened for girl students, too.

7. The Present
Since 2000 the high school started unique dual-language classes in Hungarian-Spanish and Hungarian-French languages.
