In 1898 Johannes Strömberg became principal and during his time, the capacity of the school expanded greatly with new rooms, allowing more than 750 students. In 1968, the school was turned into a public school and changed its name again to  after the former principal. The latest name change occurred in 1986, this time to its current name: Spyken.
