History

The school was created as the Santa Cruz High School of Men on August 2, 1963, after a proposal by the local Rotary Club and the Department of Santa Cruz Governor Carlos Cardoen. Adriano Díaz donated some land, but a sports complex was constructed there instead.

Classes commenced on March 1, 1964, in an old house in Nicolás Palacios Street, with around 170 students in four classes. Many of the students had already completed their first or second grade humanities courses at the Pedro Aguirre Cerda High School, but their work was not officially recognized.

The first principal was Osvaldo Castillo, who contracted teachers, and almost all of whom had worked at Pedro Aguirre Cerda High School.

The logo and standard both include palm trees, which are characteristic of the city. The anthem was composed by Raúl Benavides.

Radical Party of Chile Chilean political party

The Radical Party was a Chilean political party. It was formed in 1863 in Copiapó by a split in the Liberal Party. Not coincidentally, it was formed shortly after the organization of the Grand Lodge of Chile, and it has maintained a close relationship with Chilean Freemasonry throughout its life. As such, it represented the anticlericalist position in Chilean politics, and was instrumental in producing the "theological reforms" in Chilean law in the early 1880s. These laws removed the cemeteries from the control of the Roman Catholic Church, established a civil registry of births and death in place of the previous recordkeeping of the church, and established a civil law of matrimony, which removed the determination of validity of marriages from the church. Prior to these laws, it was impossible for non-Catholics to contract marriage in Chile, and meant that any children they produced were illegitimate. Non-Catholics had also been barred from burial in Catholic cemeteries, which were virtually the only cemeteries in the country; instead, non-Catholics were buried in the beaches, and even on the Santa Lucia Hill in Santiago, which, in the 19th century, functioned as Santiago's dump.

The Popular Front in Chile was an electoral and political left-wing coalition from 1937 to February 1941, during the Presidential Republic Era (1924–1973). It gathered together the Radical Party, the Socialist Party, the Communist Party, the Democratic Party and the Radical Socialist Party, as well as organizations such as the Confederación de Trabajadores de Chile (CTCH) trade-union, the Mapuche movement which unified itself in the Frente Único Araucano, and the feminist Movimiento Pro-Emancipación de las Mujeres de Chile (MEMCh).
