The Escobar Brothers School owes its name to its founders, Brothers Numa and Romulo Escobar Zerman, who, having done agricultural studies in Europe, imported the most innovative teaching techniques to the campus they founded in their hometown of Ciudad Juarez.



Students from all over the country attended the Hermanos Escobar School, providing their students with a multicultural environment and contributing in part to the wide diversity of backgrounds among Ciudad Juárez inhabitants, but in recent times the school was better known to the numerous student conflicts that occurred in it (similar to the Normal Rural Schools such as El Mexe) that triggered student strikes and conflicts that eventually left the loss of life as a result. The school has always been considered a major source of conflict and political instability by the city government and the state of Chihuahua, often threatened with government closure, until finally, in 1996, then-governor Francisco Barrio Terrazas resolved to close it after After a strike, the school was liquidated and its land transferred to the municipality of Juárez, which transformed it into the "Hermanos Escobar" Park.
