Schools in Greece officially receive the names of heroes Evagoras Pallikaridis and Isaac - Solomoutranslated

With the name of the hero of EOKA, Evagoras Pallikaridis, the 14th General High School of Thessaloniki will now officially operate, in a move with special symbolism for the historical memory and the ties between Greece and Cyprus. The renaming of the school was approved by a decision of the Minister of Education, Religion and Sports of Greece, Sofia Zaharakis, which was published in the Government Gazette. Specifically, the 14th General High School of Thessaloniki is renamed the 14th General High School of Thessaloniki "Evagoras Pallikaridis".

The decision took into account the recommendations of the Regional Directorate of Primary and Secondary Education of Central Macedonia and the Directorate of Secondary Education of Eastern Thessaloniki, as well as the relevant decision of the Municipal Council of Thessaloniki.

With this decision, the name of Evagoras Pallikaridis now acquires a special place in the school community of Thessaloniki, connecting the educational life of the city with the history of the struggles of Cypriot Hellenism.

The decision was signed in Athens on November 3, 2026 and provides that it enters into force from its publication in the Government Gazette.
