The School's Story: History
Firooz Bahram High School was built in 1932. It stands on land that belonged to Zoroastrian families, like Ardeshir Kiamanesh. The school was named after an Iranian Zoroastrian who sadly passed away in the Mediterranean Sea during World War I. The idea for the school was strongly supported by Keikhosrow Shahrokh. He was the Zoroastrian representative in the Majles, which is like Iran's parliament.
Famous People from Firooz Bahram
Many important people have attended Firooz Bahram High School. For example, Seyyed Hossein Nasr, who later became the President of Sharif University of Technology, studied here before moving to the United States.
Other famous former students include a Prime Minister of Iran and a Chancellor of Tehran University. Also, Ezzat Negahban, who is known as the "father of Archeology" in Iran, went to this school.
Firooz Bahram was not the very first Zoroastrian high school in Tehran. That honor goes to Jamshid Jam (جمشيد جم) High School, which was built earlier in 1906.
Even some of the staff were famous! Kamaloddin Jenab, one of Iran's first experts in nuclear physics, was the director of the school for a period.
