Escola Estadual Professor Pedro Calmon, listed good in Coronel Fabriciano, Minas Gerais, Brazil
Escola Estadual Professor Pedro Calmon is a public school in Coronel Fabriciano serving students of various ages with primary education, high school, and adult learning programs. The building features large windows allowing natural light, soft-colored walls creating open and friendly spaces, and sits centrally in the city near other local facilities.
The school was founded on May 8, 1952, as the first school building constructed in Coronel Fabriciano, marking the beginning of organized education in the city. It initially served through fourth grade but expanded to high school and adult education as the city grew through industrial development with steel plants arriving in the mid-20th century.
The school is named after Professor Pedro Calmon, a respected educator from Bahia whose contributions to education were honored by the regional governor. It serves the community as a gathering place where families meet for cultural celebrations and educational events that strengthen local bonds.
The school is located on Rua Doctor Querubino in the city center and is easily accessible for most residents. Visitors should note that during school hours the corridors are active with students, and after classes the schoolyard is used for sports and social activities.
The school was once so overcrowded that classes had to be held in the adjacent Parish Hall until additional schools were built to meet demand. A major turning point came in 2013 when a new sports court was constructed, finally providing proper facilities for physical education after decades without adequate equipment.
