The school was the first boys-only Catholic school founded in the area of Mayaguez. HistoryThe idea of Colegio San Benito was an accident. The same as such, was never in the minds of the community of Samos in the order of St. Benedict, Lugo, Spain. At the time of Trujillo and a trip he made to Spain, the Abbot of Samos, Reverend Father Mauro Gomez, had an encounter with Trujillo in one of the ministries of the Spanish government. During the conversation, General Trujillo offered to establish in the Republic of Santo Domingo in the Dominican government's expense, a Technical College, to later donate it to the community of Samos. Been subjected the tenders and the conditions throughout the plan to a decision, it decides to accept the leadership of the university. Agustin Santos and Celestino Perez went there to see the site of this leaflet. Noting the inability of the company, they moved to Puerto Rico, to the Colegio de San Antonio de Humacao. Here they taught and did some parish work for several years. Residing in Humacao, they'd established contact with the industrial Ramón Arbona, who shows them the idea of a school in Mayaguez, in honor of his son, who died in a plane crash. In order to have closer relations these two parents moved to Mayaguez, and Bishop McManus put in charge of the church of the Sacred Heart. Result of good relations between the two sides reached the final agreement to lift a school, Colegio San Benito. Don Ramón Arbona bought the land adjacent to the church, some twenty blocks and built around the year of 1964 the first building of three floors. Thanks to the devotion of parents who gave the opportunity to their sons to be educated in the first school for boys in the city and the group of teachers who were pioneers in determining the start of San Benito made the new institution very welcomed as it has been for years.
