Rosario, Santa Fe, Argentina

1996 photo of Centro Educativo Latinoamericano If you ever attended Colegio Americano in Rosario, Argentina, you may be interested to know that there is an alumni association (of sorts). We even held a big reunion in Houston in 1994! Please contact Miles Abernathy, miles99 -AT- gmail.com, for more information.

Note that Colegio Americano has been renamed Centro Educativo Latinoamericano, and its related institution of higher education is Universidad del Centro Educativo Latinoamericano, or U.C.E.L. The Centro is located at Avenida Pellegrini 1352, 2000 Rosario, Argentina. Telephone 261241, fax 499292. Their web site (in English and Spanish) is at http://www.cel.esc.edu.ar/index.htm (school, email cel@citynet.net.ar ) and at http://www.ucel.edu.ar (university, email sec@ucel.edu.ar ).

This photo appeared in the September 1996 issue of La Triada del C.E.L., the magazine format publication of Centro Educativo Latinoamericano. At that time C.E.L. was celebrating its 121st year of service.
