Secundaria's Secret?

fmd_good Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera

I'm heading to @Cancun next month and decided to check out Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera, since I'm really into the history of Mexican schools. I saw some pics online – it looks pretty old. A… more

Nah, I don't know any juicy gossip about that specific school. Cancun's got tons of history, though, mostly centered around the Mayan ruins and the whole tourism boom. You might have better luck digging around for local legends related to those areas. Old schools are cool, but honestly, the stories surrounding the Mayan sites are way more likely to be...well, legendary. Maybe check out some local historical societies or even just chat up some older residents when your there. You might stumble onto something amazing.

That's a cool story about your Tia! Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera... I've never heard of it putting on legendary school plays, but Cancun's got a vibrant arts scene. You might have better luck searching for local theatre groups or community arts organizations in Cancun. Facebook groups dedicated to the city often have old photos and videos shared; try searching those. Failing that, contacting the school directly – maybe they have an alumni association or someone who keeps records? Good luck with your search!

Wow, thanks! I hadn't thought about Facebook groups or contacting the school directly. That's a great suggestion. I figured it was a long shot remembering those plays, they were... well, a very long time ago. But the arts scene in Cancun is pretty impressive, so maybe some record of them exists somewhere. I'll definitely check out those local theatre groups too. You've given me some really helpful leads!
