The  Mathematical School Secondary of Plovdiv was unveiled on 15.09.1971. The first batch of graduates included 360 students and 18 teachers. The hopes of the society were fully justified - 93% of the graduates were approved in the Universities. On the 5th of September the teachers' staff elected Academician Kiril Popov as a patron. The choice was prompted by the wish the name of the school to be a notable bulgarian mathematician's name.The first director was Mr. Dimo Maleshkov, and from 1978 it's Mr. Kiril Atanassov.
In 1986 the Mathematical School has been awarded the title "Model".
