Knowing that education is the basis for achieving sustainable development in people, giving them the necessary knowledge to achieve academic and personal goals, Unicomer Group contributes to the expansion of the “Ricardo Félix Simán Massis: Marist Baccalaureate of the San Alfonso Marist College, in the municipality of Mejicanos.
This new building will serve so that the students attended by the Marista College can finish their high school with high educational standards, characteristic of this institution. The contribution reaches $250,000, which was used for the construction of Physics, Chemistry and Biology classrooms, two computer rooms, a reinforcement classroom and a meeting room.
The High School was named in memory of Ricardo Félix Simán Massis, and will be used for the education of more than 900 students during the morning shift at Colegio Marista San Alfonso. In the afternoon, the facilities serve more than 400 students from the surrounding area as a Public Educational Center, with the aim of supporting those who have difficulties in accessing a good educational level.
The San Alfonso Marist School was founded in 1933 by Father Luis Chávez y González with the aim of providing support to low-income children and youth in the surroundings of his Parish, always being administered and directed by the Marist Brothers.
Its mission is to be a Catholic Educational Institution with social, cultural and evangelizing projection, capable of integrally forming its students, in the Marist style, so that they become agents of change and transformers of their reality, from the experience of evangelical values such as such as brotherhood, religiousness, responsibility, solidarity, love, sincerity, respect and justice.
