Before you stands Institut d’Educaci\u00f3 Secund\u00e0ria Son Pacs. It began its journey as a humble workshop school. This was back in 1949.
Originally named Virgen de Lluch it offered basic education and vocational training. Imagine young students learning carpentry ironwork and electrical skills. The school operated under the Franco regime’s trade union organization. Its location was quite symbolic. It was housed in the Casa del Poble a former hub of Mallorcan socialism.
Initially the school occupied temporary spaces. In October 1949 it moved to a rented location. This was at the corner of 31 de Desembre and Rossell\u00f3 i Ca\u00e7ador. In 1953 the school finally settled in the Casa del Poble. This building had been seized from socialists in 1939.
Over time Institut d’Educaci\u00f3 Secund\u00e0ria Son Pacs expanded its offerings. It introduced hospitality in 1959. Electronics followed in 1960 and automotive studies in 1962. The cooking program evolved into the Jun\u00edper Serra Hospitality School. This later became a secondary institute.
