Шкільництво в Уричі/en

In 1897, a single-class public school was started in the village of Urych. It is not known exactly when the first school building was erected. From the end of the 19th century, the function of the school was performed by at least three buildings - the so-called “old school”, the village plebania and the building of the oil union’s estate. The oldest known school building in the village of Urych had architecture typical of rural schools in Galicia in the 19th - early 20th centuries. Small in size, symmetrical, with four classrooms, an entrance porch and a room for the school bell. Unfortunately, the building has not survived, its photo has not been found, but there are drawings of its measurements made in 1985.

Today's school building originally had a different function and is the oldest surviving public building in Urych. It was built at the turn of the 19th-20th centuries. Until the early 1940s, the building stood in the tract of Luha, on the north-western outskirts of the village, near the oil rigs. Its most probable initial function was the estate of the Urich oil union. It is known that, before the First World War, the estate was used by Drohobych Gymnasium named after Franz Joseph for health camps for high school students. According to old-timers, the building served as the villa of the oil entrepreneur Pirnitzer in the interwar period. During the first Soviet occupation in 1939-1941, it was decided to use this large two-story building for the needs of the village school, as the population in the village was large. The community moved the building to the centre of the village, on the bank of the river opposite to the church, next to a small building of an old village school. Both buildings were used for some time, until the smaller one fell into disrepair in the early 1990s and was dismantled.
