PMG “Acad. Boyan Petkanchin” Haskovo celebrates today 117 years since the birth of the prominent Bulgarian mathematician whose name it bears. The guest of the school’s patron saint was the mayor of Haskovo, Stanislav Dechev. The director of PMG Gergana Petrova congratulated the students for their hard work over the past year and pointed out dozens of high achievements in national and international contests, Olympiads and competitions.

Dechev addressed the students and teachers with the words: “When I received your invitation a few days ago, I thought that I wanted to tell you so many things about the Mathematics High School. For example, the fact that our school has been one of the most prestigious not only in Haskovo region, but also in the country, that the Mathematical High School is a school for successful leaders, that 96% of the graduates continue their education in Bulgaria and abroad. That’s why I will tell you something personally , who are just starting their studies here: remember that every next year it becomes more and more difficult in class. Believe me, I know from experience. To the older ones who are already have chosen where to continue their studies: please, wherever you go, remember that you are responsible to this high school that gave you knowledge, self-confidence and a chance to make your dreams come true. And if possible, do so to live these dreams in Haskovo. And last but not least, to the teachers who patiently and persistently educate and teach the children of Haskovo. The only thing I want to say: “Thank you from the bottom of my heart”!
