The current head of Kurganstalmost, Paryshev Dmitry Nikolaevich (born in 1979), lives and works in Kurgan. He was born into a family of industrialists: His father, Nikolai Vasilyevich, spent his career working at a metalwork manufacturing plant.

Today, the school is known as the Khmiki School of Olympic Reserve.
