History
The school started as a small parochial school in 1917 called San Luis Gonzaga and located on a corner of the square at Mariano Nuñez Street. On March 15, 1925, an agreement was made between the Bishop of Puno, Fidel M. Cossio, and the Franciscans of the Province of the XII Apostles of Peru, resulting in the founding of the school. On May 13, 1925, the Reverend Father Miguel Hernandez, who was appointed director, requested of the National Council of Education authorization for the operation of the school. On November 4 of the same year, the National Education Council resolved by Resolution No. 305 to authorize the operation under the name of the San Román School.
San Román School occupied the 2,385-square-metre (25,670 sq ft)-site of the parish house of the Parish of St. Catherine of Juliaca, which accommodated 92 students at the time. The first story was built by Father Daniel Hall in 1932, blessed and inaugurated on April 10 of that year. On April 18, 1942, the R.P. Inheritance Antonio acquired an adjacent site owned by Mrs. Francisca Carpio Vda increasing the campus to 4,000 square metres (43,000 sq ft).
Secondary education
In 1951 inclusion of secondary education was granted by Ministerial Resolution No. 1659 of March 29, 1951, changing the name to Franciscan College San Román Juliaca. That same year a two-story wing was added with eight classrooms. R.P. Manuel Salas led the school into two periods: 1944–1949 and 1951–1954.
In 1965 director Father Hugo Becerra initiated work on a three-story pavilion, nine classrooms, and restrooms, with a plan developed by engineers and Iturre Rivarola and completed August 1967.
Two friars, Eugenio Ramirez Quiñonez and Theodore Sakata Andrade, arrived at the facility in 1976 and 1981, respectively. Their efforts resulted in the construction of a road and great increase in school attendance. gemidos
