Institución Educativa Santa Maria was established in the Santa Maria borough, part of the municipality of Cartagena de Indias (Bolivar Department) by the Sisters of the Good Shepherd, a congregation founded in 1835 by the French nun St. Mary Euphrasia Pelletier (1796-1868, canonized on 2 May 1940 by Pope Pius XII). The congregation settled in Cartagena on 21 July 1951, with the support of Archbishop López Umaña. One of he aims of the nuns was to provide education to children of jailed parents. It took them 10 years to establish a first school, Escuela Ana María Vélez de Trujillo, founded on 8 February 1961 and inaugurated in 1962 with some 150 students. Soon transferred to new grounds, the institute was renamed in 1964 Escuela Hogar del Buen Pastor. After the official inauguration of the new buildings on 22 February 1965, the institute was renamed Instituto Santa María. Decree No. 224 of 1 March 1968 renamed it Escuela Santa María. Transferred back in 1987 to its original grounds, the institute was renamed in 1995 Concentración Educativa Santa María.
Institución Educativa Santa Maria was eventually established by Municipal Resolution No. 776 of 10 May 2002, incorporating Escuela Nuestra Señora de Fátima, Escuela Marco Fidel Suárez, and Escuela Sagrado Corazón de Jesús.

Looks rather Italian, doesn't it? I keep wondering why these schools have flags that are either match flags of other schools or national flags of other nations.
I thought to shrink the white slightly, equal stripes, standard green, smaller palette.
