History

On January 17, 1871, the graduate José María Mena Sosa founded the school with the name of Preparatory College of Sciences and Arts and with this a new era in the education of Córdoba begins. After the pedagogical congress of 1915 the first Secondary School in the republic was founded. The name has changed enormously due to the changes in educational leadership, up to the current name. The classes were taught at the Francisco I. Madero school from 1871 to 1925, but it closed due to an economic crisis. Location
