'''First Grammar School in Celje''' ({{lang-sl|Prva gimnazija v Celju}}) is a coeducational nondenominational state secondary general education school for students aged between 15 to 19 in [[Celje]], [[Slovenia]]. It was the first high school built in the region, established in 1808 by the [[Austrian Empire]]. Initially, the language of instruction was only [[German language|German]], although the great majority of the pupils came from the [[Slovene Lands]]. In 1895, the first classes with Slovene as the language of instruction were established. [[German nationalism|German nationalists]] in [[Austria-Hungary]] fiercely opposed this move, which resulted in a government crisis and fall of the cabinet of prince [[Alfred III. zu Windisch-Grätz]]. After the end of [[World War One]] and the formation of the [[State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs]] (later [[Kingdom of Yugoslavia]]), the high school switched to Slovene as the language of instruction. During its almost 200-year history, many of its pupils have become prominent individuals.
