School doors opened in 1971 in its first generation. In 1999/2000 school year, pupils and teachers

chose her a new name, and it was called „Juventa“ High School.

Our school always was famous of it‘s music. The idea - to develop a comprehensive musical

education in a harmonious personality, to be a model in Lithuania and abroad. By the end of the 8th decade the

school was experimental. Music teachers classroom activities and artistic expression was always in the city

republic, foreign scientists, academics-methodist, music teachers and other practitioners interested visitors

attention.

The teachers themselves were preparing music cabinets, arranging tables, producing visual aids,

produced panpipes, collected music records, compiled the record card file, song sets for 1-8 classes, were looking

and supervising very fragile and imperfect, small accordions used for music. The first music teachers were

preparing their own programs, concerning particular subjects for reinforced musical education. These works were

constantly improved and updated.

Musical achievements - are dedicated music teacher‘s merit of the work. The school trained many

singers and actors.
