Mohammed V high school

Mohammed V High School (Lycée Mohammed V) is one of Casablanca's most historically significant and prominent educational institutions, with its main building constructed between 1922 and 1954. It was designed by architects Isaac Lévy and Elie Azagury. The complex represents the monumental public architecture of the Protectorate era, blending early Art Deco with functional design. Named after King Mohammed V (Sultan Mohammed Ben Youssef), it became a symbol of national pride after independence and was declared a National Material Patrimony site in 2004.
