In the mid 60's starting to form on the periphery of Comodoro Rivadavia, San Martín neighborhood, the settlement grew over the years and the local people have nowhere to educate their children. Thus, from the simplicity of the needs that arise in life that the Father Lorenzo Abate hard-cover Juan XXIII School, which had at that time a chapel, two classrooms and a lounge.
In 1973, Father Corti, comes the neighborhood, as pastor who turns fifteen trailers for the Italian company Saipan into fifteen classrooms, making the last sector in the school dining hall. Over time it was decided the sale of the trailers and the money raised will build a school of thirteen classrooms, bathrooms and central heating. Due to the high demand for education four classrooms, a new management, library and parish archives, are created.
An inexplicable event happens in 1995, when someone intentionally set fire to the chapel, but the enterprising spirit of Father Corti encourages everyone to begin again, and finally the chapel was rebuilt in just one year.
Today the school accommodates 645 pupils and daily delivery of a cup of milk for each, also provides in its dining room, a plate of food to the neediest children.
