Geography

The municipality has an area of 69.4 km² (26.8 sq mi) and is primarily urban, located adjacent to the southwest side of Monterrey. It sits in a valley surrounded by mountains, most notably La Loma Larga and Sierra Madre Oriental.

Government

The current^[update] Municipal President (Mayor) of San Pedro is Miguel Treviño de Hoyos, an independent candidate.[2]

San Pedro Garza Garcia was founded in 1596. The land was converted into a large plantation called "Los Nogales" which produced crops like corn, wheat, and beans.

During the 18th century, the plantation often went by the name of "San Pedro", in honor of Saint Peter.^{[citation needed]}

The city was not elevated to the status of "Villa" (Village) until December 14, 1882, when it was given the name Garza García, in honor of the governor of Nuevo León, Genaro Garza García.^{[citation needed]}

It was not until 1988 that the mayor at the time, Alejandro Chapa Salazar gave the city its current name, adding the reference to what it was called centuries before.^{[citation needed]}

Education

Higher education

The city is home to the Catholic university, Universidad de Monterrey (UDEM), which offers bachelor's degree and master's degree programs. The Instituto Tecnológico de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey (ITESM) has two of its graduate schools in San Pedro. The Escuela de Graduados en Administración y Dirección de Empresas (EGADE), ITESM's Graduate School of Business, and the Escuela de Graduados en Administración y Política Pública (EGAP), the Graduate School of Politics and Public Administration. Both campuses are located in Valle Oriente. There are no public universities in San Pedro.[3]

Elementary and secondary education

San Pedro has 40 public pre-schools, elementary schools, middle schools, and high schools. The city also has 39 private schools. However, whereas public schools only offer one type of education (e.g., only middle school, or only elementary school), private schools[4] offer multiple types (mostly K-9th and K-12). If counted individually by type of education provided, private schools function as 88 different schools, more than twice the number of public schools.[3]

Some examples of notable private schools in San Pedro are Bachillerato Anáhuac Campus Monterrey, Centro de Educación y Cultura del Valle, S.C. (CECVAC), Colegio Inglés, Instituto Anglia, Instituto Brillamont, Instituto Irlandés, Instituto Mater, Instituto San Roberto, Liceo de Monterrey, and The American Institute of Monterrey.
