Since the education reform of the 1990 the secondary schools of the province of Buenos Aires have been undergoing severe transformations which have deteriorated, in particular, state schools. In this article, I intend to inquire into, and understand, some of the novel components of the pedagogical, political and social relationships and practices of “the school”, aspects which emerge within the enactment of school and out-of-school conflicts of the secondary school of Buenos Aires due to those who have acted in its “defense”. In order to do this, I ethnographically describe and analyse the ceremony of naming High school Number 7 of the municipality of Berazategui, Argentina, after Ernesto “Che” Guevara. This act of naming was the result of a process which I understood as the main means by which there came to be a social drama, that is, a power struggle between two sides: the school actors and the municipal and provincial governmental authorities, who fought for the political and ideological control over the school for more than fifteen years. The school actors were eventually able to resolve the dispute in their own favour by means of a ritual performance which displayed an unprecedented and legitimized school identity.

Palabras clave : Ethnography; School Identity; Ritual Performance; Political Dimension; State Secondary School.
