Source-derived summary

Decebal High School (Romanian: Liceul Teoretic "Decebal" Constanța) is a high school located at 4 Agarici Horia Alley in Constanța, Romania.

History

Decebal High School was established in 1970, as High School No. 5 of Constanța, due to a large number of schoolchildren in the area and the lack of a STEM-profiled high school.

In 1990, taking account the preferences of secondary school graduates but also the collective capacity of teachers, the school changed back to its former profile, under the name "Decebal" High School Constanța. After taking over "Dimitrie Știubei" School and "Flipper" Kindergarten in 2010, the Decebal High School educates over 1,000 students, aged 3–19.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Decebal High School” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Decebal, High and School provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Contemporary correspondence, administrative files and participant testimony can test how later narratives organized the event or institution. The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 22, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q12732155. Authority coordinates are 44.211, 28.627. 2 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1970, 1990 and 2010.

Critical limits

Later summaries often reconcile disputed chronology or motive more neatly than the contemporary record permits. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Compare institutional narratives with records created by participants and affected communities. Dates and formal titles are useful anchors, but not substitutes for context.
