History of the school:

THE Sakstagala school was formed in 1895. In the first year, the school was active in Franz Tradog's house “Colnasate”, but from 1896 he settled in the Ciukoru pub building in 1801. By 1920, the training took place in Russian, from 1920 in Latvian, but from 1944 in both Latvian and Russian. During the First World War, the school's work was interrupted. In the twentieth and thirtieth years, the school was converted into a 6-year-old school and spent 120-150 pupils. In 1934, a People's House was built on the school building. During the Second World kara, the school's work was limited. In the first half of the fifties, a school building was built: school boarding and classroom. The new school building was built in 1962-1964. The work on the new school curricula began on 25 January 1964. In 1999, the school participated in the competition announced in the “World Bank” competition for the renovation of educational institutions and the promotion of electric efficiency. The school won a new form in the summer of 2001. From 2009/2010, the school was awarded the name of the former student of the school, the brilliant writer John Klīdzēja.
