The "Zichron Yosef" school, located in the heart of Haifa's Ahuza neighborhood, is marking its centenary of educational activity. From October 19th to 23rd, the school will commemorate this milestone with a series of community and cultural events themed "Folds of Time," connecting the school's past, present, and future. The official opening ceremony is scheduled for Monday, October 19th, at 9:00 AM, with the participation of Mayor Yona Yahav, municipal representatives, faculty, students, parents, and community members. Throughout the week, various activities involving students, staff, and parents will offer participants a chance to learn about the school's heritage and its connection to the development of the Ahuza neighborhood and Haifa.
"It is a great honor to lead the school at this historic juncture," stated School Principal Anat Daniel. "The 100th year is an opportunity to pause, look with respect at the past and the deep roots of the institution in the heart of the Ahuza neighborhood, celebrate the present with joy, and chart the vision for the future. We are connecting students to Haifa's history and culture, alongside developing entrepreneurial thinking, leadership, and skills that will safely guide them into the next 100 years."
As part of the unique initiative, students will portray Yosef Segal, the school's founder and first principal, and his wife Malka, serving as living guides along a special path. The school grounds will transform into four interactive spaces blending living history with an engaging community experience. Visitors will embark on a journey through time, from the neighborhood's early days on Mount Carmel to its present activities and future vision. The experience will begin in the historical space, the "Path of Memories," move to the "Living City" space simulating a bustling street on the Carmel ridge, then to the "Muse Space" dedicated to creative work combining neighborhood research with traditional crafts like sewing, embroidery, and painting, and finally to the "Tomorrow Space."
