Harati High School (دبیرستان هراتی) is a boys' public high school in Isfahan, Iran. It was established more than half a century ago through the initiative and funding of Mohammad Sheikhzadeh Herati Yazdi. The two-storey mid-20th-century campus on Kamal Esmaeel Avenue occupies about approx. 8750 m² near the Zayandeh River and features decorative tilework by master craftsman Mohammad Ali Maghzi; the building is listed on Iran's register of national heritage sites.[1][2]
History
In 1951, the construction of the primary school and high school began under the initiative of Sheikhzadeh Herati Yazdi in Isfahan.[3][4] The construction operations spanned three years, and the official inauguration took place in 1954.[3][5][4]
In 2015, Harati High School was registered as a "Mandegar" (Persian: ماندگار, meaning: lasting) school by the Provincial and National Council of Education.[4] "Mandegar" schools are old educational establishments or units with a history of at least 50 years, and they are deemed suitable for educational activities in terms of their structural integrity.[4]
Harati High School holds a coveted "Nemooneh" license from the Ministry of Education, indicating its commitment to superior education quality.[4][6] Governed by the government, Nemooneh high schools, like Harati,[7] admit students through a competitive entrance exam. These institutions focus on nurturing students' talents and abilities, aiming to empower them to reach their full potential.[8]
Status
Harati is designated both a Mandegar (legacy) and Nemooneh (selective) public high school by the Ministry of Education. In 2015 it was reported as the first school in Isfahan Province registered with the Mandegar status; the school is also described as Nemooneh (admission by competitive entrance exam).[9]
Campus and architecture
The two-storey plan aligns east–west along the river; classrooms receive natural southern light, and the façade bears Maghzi's mosaic tilework. The site area is approximately approx. 8750 m² with significant open space compared to typical contemporary schools in Iran.[10][11]
Honors and Alumni
Every year, a considerable number of students from Harati High School achieve excellent ranks in Khwarizmi Award, national Olympiads, cultural and educational competitions, sports events, and nationwide university entrance exams (known as کنکور).[4][6]
