History

On September 2, 1963, a middle school, Riihimäki co-educational school, started operating in Riihimäki. At first, the school did not have its own teaching space and lessons were held e.g. at the fire station and the youth center.

The current school building, designed by architect Raimo Valjaka, was completed on the side of Pohjolankatu and near the Sports Park in 1967. The building was immediately admired for its architecture and space. Raimo Valjakka was a Finnish architect who designed several public buildings in different parts of Finland, for example in Hyvinkää.

The first high school students graduated from Riihimäki co-educational school in 1971. With the reform of the elementary school, the name of the school changed in 1978 to Pohjolanrinne middle and high school. In 1994, Pohjolanrinne high school and Riihimäki high school were merged and high school teaching moved away from this school building.

The Pohjolanrinne school was renovated in the school year 2007-2008. However, the school's appearance retained the atmosphere and colors of the time the school was founded, even though the school was equipped with the latest teaching technology and the facilities required for modern teaching.
