Back in 1941, a seven-year school was opened for village children on the banks of the Ayat River in the village of Elizavetinka. Ekaterina Ivanovna Kolesnikova was appointed the first director of the school. The school became a second home for the village children, where they could make unprecedented discoveries for themselves and dream with their beloved teacher. Since 1946, Alexey Arkhipovich Baldin has been the permanent director of the school. The school has become an eight-year school. The Elizabethan eight-year school was housed in a spacious one-story building, surrounded by magnificent shady elm trees and poplars. Nearby is the school grounds, where students, under the guidance of teachers, grew vegetables and flowers. There was a small sports ground in front of the school, always occupied by children. The corridor of the school served as a sports hall, an assembly hall, and the pioneer room was located in one of the classrooms. Life at school didn’t stop until late at night. In September 1965, a new school in the new state farm “Naberezhnye Chelny” hospitably opened its doors. Alexey Arkhipovich Baldin was the first director of the Embankment Secondary School. For many years, the team’s thought has been focused on achieving the most important educational and educational goal. Alexey Arkhipovich constantly found ways to improve the educational process, updated and expanded the material base of the school, and, above all, took great care to equip the educational process with visual aids and technical means of teaching, and took care of the classroom system of classes on a daily basis. The teachers are grateful to their supervisor for his simplicity, modesty, sincerity, integrity, and comradely sensitivity.
