History
The Novodworski Foundation was created by the Alumni of the Nowodworski High School living in the United States.
Throughout the school's history it was supported and helped by many of its alumni. Today the tradition continues with such groups as The Nowodworski Foundation that began student exchanges between various American high schools and the Nowodworski High School. The foundation is also working to renovate and expand the over 400 year old school's crumbling facilities and integrate it with the city's cultural circle.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“We don’t know when our name came into being or how some distant ancestor acquired it. We don’t understand our name at all, we don’t know its history and yet we bear it with exalted fidelity, we merge with it, we like it, we are ridiculously proud of it as if we had thought it up ourselves in a moment of brilliant inspiration.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
“American time has stretched around the world. It has become the dominant tempo of modern history, especially of the history of Europe.”
—Harold Rosenberg (1906–1978)
“In history an additional result is commonly produced by human actions beyond that which they aim at and obtain—that which they immediately recognize and desire. They gratify their own interest; but something further is thereby accomplished, latent in the actions in question, though not present to their consciousness, and not included in their design.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
