“Each year we commemorate the Battle of La Trinidad, during which Costa Rican forces took control of what was called ‘Vía del Tránsito,’ cutting off supplies to invaders. This battle was one of the decisive events of what is known as the National Campaign of 1856-1857.”
“Our motto is: ‘School shapes us, writing drives us, and values guide us.'”
