The school bears the name of Juraj Šižgorić (lat. Georgius Sisgoreus, (Šibenik, 1420 - 1509). He was a Croatian Latinist poet, the first humanist of Šibenik and the central person of Humanism circle in Šibenik. He was also one of the most significant individuals of cultural life and the history of Croatian people in the XV century.
Šibenik is a lovely town made of stone, situated on the shores of the Adriatic Sea and it's the oldest autochthonous town on the Adriatic. The first mentioning of Šibenik was on Christmas 1066, in the grant of king Petar Krešimir IV, which is why we call it ''Krešimir's town'' even today.

St James’ Cathedral in Šibenik is one of the most important architectural achievement in 15th and 16th century in Croatia. Due to its exceptional worth, in the year 2000 it was listed on UNESCO World Heritage List. That is, however, not the only UNESCO list monument in our town. In the year 2017, St Nichola’s Fortress was added to the list, which made Šibenik one of the few towns in the world with 2 UNESCO’s sights, and its citizens extremely proud of it!
