The Benito Juarez school was named after a Mexican hero who led a revolt against their French rulers in the 1860’s. He was a Native Mexican Indian who became President of his country. This school was one of the first public schools in Cuernavaca and it was built on the grounds of the town’s central cathedral.

There are many schools in the USA that are named after Benito Juarez. You can look them up on the internet to find their locations.
Are there schools in the USA named after American heroes and presidents?

Mural of Benito Juarez and symbols of Mexico
in the courtyard of the school. Benito Juarez is in the center. On the left is an eagle sitting on a cactus eating a snake. This is from an Aztec legend and is on the Mexican flag today. There are pictures showing the changes in laws made by Juarez and his plan to give the land to the people who work and farm it.

Vamos! Years ago two tourists, Bill and
Patty Coleman, noticed that many Mexican families came to town to sell their crafts. The families were poor and slept in the open town square until their products were all sold. Children worked with their parents. These families did not have cooked food to eat, bathrooms to use, medical care, or schools to attend.
![Page 24: North America: Canada, U.S.A. and Mexico](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56814949550346895db696dc/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The Colemans started a foundation called Vamos! to provide schools and community centers so the children and mothers would have a safe and nourishing place to eat, study and learn. People from all over the world give money to support these schools and centers.
