It has approximately 20,000 books in its library, including many volumes from before 1939, highlighting its rich traditions and cultural significance. The school has many outstanding achievements, such as organizing the Festival of Small Theater Forms and a German language teaching program that is implemented throughout the country. In terms of sports tradition, a notable event is the New Year's Tournament, which has been held annually since 2013 at the Wisła Kraków hall, and since 1996, the "holy war" football match between II LO and I LO, which is a major event in the school calendar.
