In 1886, two book printers completed their apprenticeship in the school. Eight years later, in 1894, another group of 19 book printers finished their education there. By 1945, more than 1,500 students had completed their studies at Grafička škola u Zagrebu. By the decision of the Teachers' Council of Croatia, 1894 is considered the year of establishment of the school. As of 2024, Eleven thousand students have graduated school to date.
