    The 2nd Primary School of Tinos was established in 1944, but it was housed in a different location. It was transferred to its current location in 1960. The site, where the building that houses our school today was built, was a donation by the priest Armakolla. The procedures for the school’s construction started in 1957 and were completed in 1960, when the operation of the school began.
