The renowned teacher from Kumanovo, Aleksandar "Šandor" Popović, was born in Bačko Petrovo Selo, where his father worked as a municipal official. Later, he lived in Belgrade, where he pursued his teaching career. His wife was Cveta Horvatova, the sister of the well-known pharmacist Dušan Horvat, and their father was a teacher, Radislav.
Their son, Feodor, also lived and passed away in Belgrade, while today, Aleksandar's grandson, Aleksandar (Aca), resides in Poreč.
Although many years have passed, the older residents of Kumanovo still recall the "old kindergarten," which they referred to as "Popović’s School." Popović left a lasting impact on the community, and his memory lives on through these stories.
