The paper deals with a short historical outline of the vocational mining school at Mežica from its establishment
in 1942 to its termination in 1991, especially according to the existing school chronicle 1958—1991. The same source
enables us to learn about the most important teachers of this school as well as the basic data about pupils and school
premises. Some older data kept in the archives of the Mežica mine have also been considered. The important fact is
that this was the only vocational school of its kind in Slovenia.
