Since September 1, 1994, the school has been called the Ján Adam Rayman Grammar School. Ján Adam Rayman (1690 - 1770) was an important Prešov doctor, pharmacist and, most importantly, a pioneer of vaccination with world importance. Every year, on the anniversary of Rayman´s birth, our school organizes an activity called Rayman´s week. During this special week, graduate students work as teachers in classes and the whole school dresses in the prescribed color of rainbow every day.
