Everything about Col Gio Culto Ci Ncia totally explained

The Colégio Culto à Ciência (Portuguese for "Cult to Science" High School), currently denominated E.E. Culto à Ciência), is a public secondary school located in the city of Campinas, state of São Paulo, Brazil. It was founded on January 12, 1874, as a boy's private school by an association, namely, Sociedade Culto à Ciência, which members were partly of the Mason's Comisssion of the Campinas' Justice Lodge "Independence". Composed by the city's farmers, merchants and intellectuals, among such were: Antônio Pompeu de Camargo; Francisco Glicério; Manoel Ferraz de Campos Salles, then the Secretary of the Campinas' Lodge (later, President of Brazil during 1898-1902); Jorge Krug; Joaquim Bonifácio do Amaral, the Viscount of Indaiatuba; Joaquim Egídio de Souza Aranha, the Marquis of Tres Rios; Cândido Ferreira; and, the Baron of Atibaia. The school's name reflects the influence of positivism on its founders. In 1890 the school went through a financial crisis and had to close its doors until 1896, when it was reopened under the aegis of the state (then province of São Paulo), as the Ginásio Estadual (State Gymnasium).
Until 1964, when a controversial educational reform was promoted by the military régime, it was an equalitarian, high quality school, used both by the economical élite and the ascending middle class. Many of these qualities were lost after the reform, to the chagrin of its many alumni. Presently, they're part of the state educational system, Secretaria do Estado de São Paulo. The School has had many notable alumni, such as:

Alberto Santos-Dumont, pioneer aviator
Regina Duarte, TV actress
Fausto Silva, TV showman
Moacyr Castro, journalist and writer
D. João Néri, Catholic prelate and bishop
