Dona Escolástica Rosa State Technical School, Technical school in Santos, Brazil

Dona Escolástica Rosa State Technical School is a public state technical school in Santos, part of the Centro Estadual de Educação Tecnológica Paula Souza, which began activities on 6 October 1969. It offers secondary and technical education, and admission is through a vestibulinho entrance exam. Candidates who completed primary school entirely in public schools receive a 10% bonus, and self-declared Afro-descendants receive 3%, cumulatively.

The school was founded on January 1, 1908 and aimed to provide boys from difficult circumstances with skills and education. In 1933 it gained a major technical focus when it began offering the region's first official technical courses and later opened enrollment to girls.

The school is named after Dona Escolástica Rosa, a benefactor remembered for her work with disadvantaged children in Santos. The name ties the institution to that local charitable legacy. The school belongs to the Centro Paula Souza network, created on 6 October 1969, which runs state technical schools across São Paulo.

The school is easily accessible in Santos and serves students from various neighborhoods of the city. Visitors should note that it is an active school with limited access during regular hours.

The building is listed as a Good Class asset by both CONDEPHAAT, the state heritage council, and CONDEPASA, Santos' municipal preservation body. The school belongs to the Centro Paula Souza network, created on 6 October 1969, which now runs 198 schools in 150 municipalities of São Paulo state.
