It was on September 7th, 1988, and a few days later, she announced it alongside the renowned radio host Mauricio Rider at another music event. She won the award by singing ‘Sin él’, one of the biggest hits by singer Marisella. It was an honor to have you with us back then. You sang for us… and today, you sing for the world. Welcome home!

NEASC Visit (Academic Director)

By: Dairo Orozco Molina, Academic Director - Colegio San José I want to thank each and every one of you for your willingness, generosity, warmth and openness during the three days of our visit. Mrs. Ann Galvani and Mrs. Irene Coe, NEASC's academic peers, were very impressed with the reception and welcome from the entire San José educational community. Thank you very much! The results of the visit are very satisfactory and they guide us all in the search for integral excellence in each of the different aspects of the formation proposal that we offer as a Jesuit School in the Caribbean Region. We will be receiving the official report from NEASC in six weeks and there we will have a concrete tool to continue organizing our path towards accreditation. I value significantly the effort of everyone in all the departments of the school and I know that this path we are traveling will lead us through different stages to the daily awareness of our work in a school of the Society of Jesus.
