While the school did not have its own building, the classes took place in the old building of a clergyman that was on the same land plot; the building of the parish school was built in 1876-1877. The building was funded by the local land owners and parish members. The building cost approximately RUB 10 000. The baron Fegezak in Svetciems gave both materials for the building and the amount of money RUB 1000. In 1921 the school became a secondary school and in 1929 it became a gymnasium. After the gymnasium was abolished in 1934, the grades 3 to 6 remained. During the post-war years, the grades of secondary school were placed in the building on Krasta Street. The secondary school returned back to the premises in 1956 after the building had been reconstructed and restored.

The teacher Kristine Skujina:
The course of secondary school after the graduation of the six-year educative primary school. The four-year education referred to 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th grades. All the necessary teachers were found/ The salary was paid by the government, the rest was entrusted to the local municipality.
The work at the local secondary school was not easy. There was a lack of visuals; the salaries of the teachers were sometimes paid with a great delay. The teachers were not local inhabitants. They did not have their salary and it meant that they did not have food to eat. Time passed though and the students grew.
