The State Escola Secundária Fernão Mendes Pinto ( ESFMP ) is a Portuguese school of secondary and vocational school in Pragal , in the district of Almada in the Margem Sul do Tejo . It is named after the navigator, explorer and author Fernão Mendes Pinto , who died in Pragal in 1583.

history
The school was founded in 1965 as Secção de Almada do Liceu D. João de Castro , as a branch in Almada of the Lisbon Liceu D. João de Castro . With the school year 1972/73 the school became independent and renamed the Liceu Nacional de Almada . It was housed in the central square Praça de São João Baptista in Almada, in today's Complexo do Fórum Municipal Romeu Correia .
With the Carnation Revolution in 1974, the new democratic government turned increasingly to the education sector and also set up a large number of new schools. In 1975 the Liceu Nacional de Almada moved to its current location in Pragal.
With the school year 1978/79, the school was renamed Escola Secundária de Almada , before it was given its current name with the school year 1987/88.
In autumn 2018 it was announced that David Burmann and Alexej Feinstein would be visiting the school for several days in April 2019.
