Committed works fast, are going to organise the high school around a central court(yard) delimited by galleries which allow to reach schoolrooms directly. Autonomous from 1946, the high school takes the name of "Montesquieu" two years later. It will be renovated a first time in 1970s then restructured and spread(widened) by the architect Jeff Dananik between 2005 and 2007.
