Vasil Levski secondary school originates from the three-class girls’ school which was found in 1888/1889 academic year. The oldest record, kept in State archive, is in “Main list of 1st graders of 1889/1890 academic year”. There were enrolled 16 girls and the principal of the school was the main teacher Zlati Palamidov.
Until 1904 the school functions as a three-class institution with six teachers who graduated in Russia and West Europe: Zlati Pramatarov – a Russian alumnus, Peter Noykov graduated in Germany, Vasil Karagiozov in France and Dimo Popov in Switzerland.
In 1904/1905 4th and 5th classes were initiated and as a result the school became a Five-class Girls’ School.
In 1917/1018 the school merged with the Boys’ Pedagogic School and became a Medley Pedagogic School.
In 1933 the Medley pedagogic school was closed and it was replaced by a newly-founded Medley Secondary School.
In 1937 the secondary school was separated into boys’ and girls’ schools, which was named after Vasil Levski, on the 100-year anniversary of his birth.
The composer Svetoslav Obretenov was a music teacher at the school from 1937 till 1939.
In 1960/1961 academic year the school became a Polytechnic secondary school. Two specialized classes in Biology and Music were introduced in 1982; Art intensive and Bulgarian language and History intensive classes were introduced a few years later.
