History edit

The idea of a gymnasium in Šiauliai was raised in 1838 by local Lithuanian nobles and city's Jewish community.[1] They argued that it was not enough for the Kovno Governorate to have only one gymnasium in Kaunas which was transferred from the Kražiai College. The nobles and the Jews promised to provide funds for the construction of the school[1] and purchased a plot of land in 1839. The same year they opened a temporary five-year school. The construction started in 1845 and was completed in 1850 (some bricks were taken from a former monastery in Pašiaušė). Some teachers, books, furniture, and other inventory were transferred from the gymnasium in Svislach, Grodno Governorate, while the temporary school was transferred to Svislach.[2]

The seven-year boys' school was opened on 30 August 1851. The first year it had 297 students, mostly children of local nobility and Russian officials.[2] There were no restrictions based on student's age and thus the school had some students that were in their late 20s.[3] The teachers were mostly Russian and the instruction was given in the Russian language. The school charged tuition (initially 10, increased to 40 rubles per year in 1859),[3] but provided waivers for good grades or for less affluent students.[1] After the abolition of serfdom in Russia, there were more students from families of farmers. The number of students increased to 570, but after the Uprising of 1863 it dropped to 180–202. In 1882, the number of students reached 524 but dropped once again due to new restrictions. In 1887, the number of Jewish students was capped at 10% of total.[3] A separate gymnasium for girls was opened in 1898.[2]

The school also had a library which started from about 2,000 books transferred form Svislach.[4] It was the first government-funded library in Šiauliai. It grew slowly from 2,365 books in 1852 to 2,847 books (961 titles) in 1861. After the closure of the Šiauliai Public Library in 1864, its holdings grew to 5,731 books in 1866. In 1915, just before the school was shuttered due to World War I, the library had 11,327 books.[4]

During World War I, the school building was transformed into a German military hospital and its buildings were severely damaged. The school returned to its historical premises in 1922.[1] At that time it was a co-educational school with over 650 students, but the girls' gymnasium was spun out in 1928. In 1946, the school was named after poet Julius Janonis. The school building was reconstructed and expanded by adding the third floor in 1950.[2] It became a co-educational school again in 1954. In 1970, the school established its museum which by 2010 held 3,448 exhibits.[5] It regained its historical gymnasium status in 1996.[2]
