History

The school is placed in the lands of an old XVI century convent, which facade is still preserved. The uses given to this building from the XIX century onwards have been diverse: a convent, a barn, a primary school,... and, finally, a slaughterhouse, before transforming it into what nowadays it is: a beautiful secondary school.
