The School Building was built during the Fascist period in the vicinity of the place where the ancient convent of San Francesco once stood. The first nucleus of schools, which originally had an "L" shape, with the longest side corresponding to the current facade that overlooks Via Giovanni Amadio, was inaugurated on November 27, 1922.
Since its inauguration, the School Building has hosted the town's schools and, for about thirty years, it was also the seat of the Municipality of Controguerra. Today, elementary and middle school classes are housed in its premises.
Until the 1970s, the eastern square of the building was occupied by the Parco della Rimembranza, inaugurated on 24 May 1933. The complex commemorated the counter-guerrillas killed in the Great War and a tall tree was planted for each fallen. At the base of the trunk of each plant there was a metal cross engraved with the name of the fighter.
On the facade of the Palazzo Scolastico which overlooks Via Giovanni Amadio, there is still a commemorative plaque dating back to 1920, which bears General Armando Diaz's Victory Bulletin engraved in bronze, followed by a marble slab engraved with the names of the fallen of the country.
