context_page_description: Hristo Botev School is a comprehensive school in the town of Targovishte in the Targovishte Province, Bulgaria.
  Named after the Bulgarian poet and revolutionary Hristo Botev, the school is among the oldest ones in the town and province. It has 8 grades, separated in two educational levels. The first 3 grades are in the Primary level for children 7/8/9 years old. The next 5 grades are in the Secondary level for children aged 10–14. After graduating the school, pupils may continue their education at some High school or Vocational school.
context_section_description: The school is considered as one of the two successors of the old class school founded in 1846 and named St. Sedmochislenitsi. Since 1863 the school has been housed in the newly constructed building. The eminent Bulgarian enlightener Petko Slaveykov was involved as a head teacher who openly expressed his admiration for the edifice. That's why the school is also known today as a Slaveykov school. The building is well preserved till nowadays and houses a museum exposition.
  Until 1882 the school was only for boys. Since the next year it was transformed in a co-educational school. In 1905, because of the economic progress from the end of the 19th century, it was decided by the municipal authorities a high-school class to be established.
