A School Connected to Capital’s History
The history of Razi High School is also part of the broader history of Tehran. The city has changed dramatically over the decades, and its schools have changed with it. Institutions that once stood in one neighborhood may now occupy another location, while their former buildings may have been given completely different functions.
The school’s connection with Vali-Asr Street is particularly notable because the street itself has become one of the defining urban features of Tehran. Its long route through the city connects different social, commercial, and residential areas. A school situated along such a major road is naturally part of the everyday movement of the city.
The surrounding environment also contributes to the character of a school. Students arrive from different neighborhoods, teachers travel to the school, and families become connected with the institution. Over time, these relationships create a community that extends beyond the physical walls of the school.
