The 2nd High School in Wrocław (Polish: II Liceum Ogólnokształcące we Wrocławiu, or II Liceum Ogólnokształcące im. Piastów Śląskich we Wrocławiu) – a public high school in Wrocław, Poland, named after Silesian Piasts, part of the 22nd Secondary School Complex, located at Parkowa 18–26 street. Built in 1929 as Mary Magdalene's Gymnasium.[1]
Shortly after World War II the building was destined as middle school and secondary school, and soon – after education reform – merged into a secondary school. After many years of operating it earned, thanks to inter alia hard work of long-term mentor to the School's Sports Circle and P.E. teacher, Adam Dotzauer, a reputation of a sport's school, and later on a title of the School of Sport's Mastery (Szkoła mistrzostwa sportowego).
