In 1912, the school was redesignated in honour of poet Francisco Sá de Miranda.][
In 1921, the ''Colégio do Espírito do Santo'', former-property of the Congregates (who were expelled following the installation of the First Portuguese Republic) was availed to become the new lyceum, owing to the inadequate primitive structures.][
On 27 April 1928, a campaign began to adapt the spaces, which continued between 1929 and 1933.][
Studies on the lyceum project in 1958 were carried-out by the ''Junta das Construções'' for technical and secondary instruction.][ As a consequence, in 1961, construction to adapt the installations in the internat annex of the lyceum and expansion of covered recreational spaces were carried out by the ''Serviços de Construção e de Conservação'' (''Construction and Conservation Services'').][

Architecture
The school is situated in the proximity of the Casa de Val Flores and the Villa Garden Hotel.[
Its main body is dominated by a three-floor facade reconstructed in the Nationalist style.
