University description (as per official university website)
In the late nineteenth century came to Brazil a flood of immigrants coming from different countries of Europe. In order to ensure the maintenance of their culture, brought with them a pastor who also exercised the function of teacher and could keep then alive the language and culture itself. This was the case of German immigrants. So, they built schools alongside the churches.
A chapel, a school and a community center always occupied a prominent place in the life of new communities. Among them, in 1918, when "everything was closed jungle," came the first Christian families, bringing the Bible, the catechism, a hymnal, faith and will to win. Established here, in the decade 1910-1920, the colony-Buricá Santa Rosa, today the municipality of Três de Maio.
The school started its activities in 1922, being the Lord Kreutler the first resident pastor here, also his first teacher. Classes were held at the Community House (Gemeindehaus).
On 1 January 1923 was affiliated with the Sierra-verband (Serrana Association of Schools) and was decided in June that year, untie their administration of the Community and to pass this assignment to an own board.
In 1931, the responsibility of the school was transferred to the newly founded School Society Santa Rosa (Deutsch - Brasilianische Schulverein), continuing to run classes at the Community House. Several disagreements, caused the Santa Rosa School Society built its own building, where today is the Banco do Brazil.
In January 1932, the Community re-took over the school, returning to keep it, giving it the name Centenary College.
During the Second World War, after the school was closed for a few months - in 1944 - the Community Board, held on February 15, 1945, decided to reopen it, asking the Department of Education teacher and a commitment to work with the name "St. Paul Synod School." During this period, during World War II, the school was closed for one year, as the teacher of his time had been arrested. The school was to guide and prepare people for life.
Ideas to expand the school's actions, combined with the help of Congressman Herman Dockhorn and obtaining financial aid has made this desire. The board of St. Paul Evangelical Community has mobilized and developed new projects to work on new courses. Was created, then, Setra, Educational Society Três de Maio, 22 September 1950, founded by members of the community.
The first teacher in SETRA recorded in 1952, was Professor Brunhilde Matzembacher Tesche, and the second, Professor Deon Olimpio (deceased). The school was maintained through membership fees and donations. To supplement the income festivities were held. It was a difficult time. There were about a hundred and twenty students enrolled, two teachers and the first and second series running in the same classroom. Thereafter the direction of the School was in charge of Professor Florencio Berger.
The Institution on May 10, 1954, he assumed, in addition to primary school, the Rural Normal School President Getulio Vargas, whose goal was to prepare teachers for rural areas and contribute to the transformation of communities. Around 1956 / 57, the teachers started to be paid for shift work. The difficulties of maintenance were many. In March 1964 have been realized the weaknesses of some teachers through the state government, enabling continuity of work.
From the beginning, the Evangelical Community SETRA and St. Paul schools maintained for the sole purpose of providing education to youth from pre-primary and, if possible, to higher education. With the educational reform introduced by Law 5692/71, which led to profound changes in the educational system of the country, the School "Vargas" whose Normal Course Rural, already endangered, led to the College President Getúlio Vargas, with Technical Course in Farming.
