History of military education in Moravská Třebová
The town of Moravská Třebová was founded in the 13th century in the beautiful landscape of the borderland between Czechlands and Moravia. The historical present town and Moravská Třebovás’ castle are major tourist attractions. The Military Technical High Schools’ campus is situated on the outskirts of Moravská Třebová in the forested Třebovské Mezihoří area -one of the least polluted areas in the country. The schools’ campus has the acreage of 30 hectares.
In 1922 the first Czech Minority School was established in Moravská Třebová as a part of The Russian Gymnasium. It was located in the area of contemporary Military Technical High Schools’ campus. The tradition of military education in Moravská Třebová dates from 1935. In 1935 a governmental decree established a reformed state military school (SVRRG). During the first three years over 700 students attended and many of these engaged in anti-fascist activities both in Czechoslovakia and abroad.
In 1939-45 the schools’ facilities were used as POW detention camp for British, French and Yugoslav military officers (Oflag VIII F). During WWII more than 4500 members of the above mentioned militaries were detained here. The Military Technical High School keeps in touch with some of these veterans through The British embassy, Prague. After the war the pre-war tradition resumed in a military school and later in a military gymnasium dedicated to Jan Žižka from Trocnov.
In 1996 in connection with a complete reorganization of the army of the Czech Republic the name was changed to The Military Technical High School (Ministry of Defense). Its mission is to broadly instruct military professionals in the spirit of the best democratic traditions of our nation. The school cooperates with many organizations, primarily with The Association of Czechoslovak Legionaries who gave their sponsorship to the school. In 1997 the legionaries felt that their cooperation with the school was important enough for them to present their flag to the school. Since October 1997 the school has been proud to bear the honorary name The School of the Association of Czechoslovak Legionaries.
In 2006 the school was recorded into the national school registry system and a new college – type study program was introduced. The name of school was changed to Military High School and College of Ministry of Defense Moravská Třebová.
On October 7, 2014 the director of the Military History Institute approved alteration of the emblem of the Military High School and College of MOD. The altered school emblem is based on the emblem of the State Military Reform grammar school, introduced in 1935. The emblem comprises of a label with dominant linden leaves and a Gothic sword laid over the red and white field. Linden leaves ornaments are separated by the blue color, so that the overall color cast of the emblem makes the tricolor. The main alteration of the emblem involves omission of the acronym referring to the previous name of the school.

News
International cooperation between military high schools continues
From 17th to 21st of September, students of our school visited Military High School of Károly Kratochvíl in Debrecen, Hungary for the second time. Twenty students, three soldiers and one teacher had a unique opportunity to take part in many activities, including visiting Budapest Parliament, sailing the Danube river on an artillery boat, sightseeing in Debrecen, participating in sport games, watching military training and meeting the Hungarian president János Áder. The mutual cooperation between our schools has been very beneficial for all the students involved as they can get to know different culture and improve their speaking skills in another language. In addition, teachers can get inspired and share their experience. (JK, photos)
