Colegio del Espíritu Santo was established on 28 November 1957 in Buga (Valle
Department) by the Marist Brothers, led by Friar José Bolaños Rodríguez. The
building of the school was supported and funded by several notables of the town,
led by Alejandro Domínguez Molina. Classes started on 13 October 1958. On 25
March 1968, Narciso Cabal Salcedo retired from the direction of Gimnasio
Central del Valle, which he offered to the corporation that ruled Colegio del
Espíritu Santo. The Clerics of San Viator, a congregation established in 1838 by
Louis Querbes, were granted the management of the institute from 1968 to 1972.
Later on, the institute was ran jointly by the corporation and by the Diocese of
Buga; on 23 June 1994, the institute was renamed Colegio Diocesano Gimnasio
Central del Valle and fully transferred to the Diocese.

Escuela Urbana de Varones Mariano Ospina Rodríguez, located in Chinácota
(Department of Norte de Santander), was founded, as Escuela Pública de Varones ,
on 29 January 1908 by Eliseo Delgado and Antonio Bautista. In 1913, the
Municipal Council (Decree No. 5) granted a plot where the new Escuela Modelo de
Varones would be built and the required funding; the new building was
inaugurated on 10 January 1914. Subsequently changed to Escuela de Varones No.1.
(1931) and Grupo de Varones Antonio Ricaurte (1942), the name of the institute
was restored to Escuela Modelo de Varones in 1952. In 1960, it was renamed for
President of the Republic Mariano Ospina Rodríguez (1857-1861), whose government
supported educational institutes in Colombia.
The flag of Escuela Urbana de Varones Mariano Ospina Rodríguez is described on
the institute's website as horizontally divided light blue-white-green, with
dimensions 1.50 m x 1.75 (that is, proportions 6:7). Light blue means the
nobleness of the children's' spirit and triggers reflection, and evokes as well
the immensity of the sky and the sea. Considered as a cold color, blue keeps a
strong force, tranquillity and freshness that pushes to the background the
negative feelings of sadness, depression and loneliness. White, the color of the
central stripe, symbolizes the purity of the children's' spirit, evoking both
the children and their teachers; it is also the symbol of peace. Green,
the color of the third stripe, means hope that the alumni will be future
contributors of a new, better homeland. Designed by Alicia Rubio de Durán, Edgar
Emiro Lemus, Hermelina Buitrago de Camacho and Nancy Camacho Buitrago, the flag
was hoisted for the first time on 11 November 1989, during the opening ceremony
of the celebration of the Diamond Jubilee of the institute.
