Dear Bolivar Alumni,


It is with heavy hearts that we inform you of the passing of Mr. Dale Swall, the former director of Colegio Bolivar (1958 – 1970).



Mr. Swall played an integral role in shaping the history and vision of our beloved institution.

Many of you may remember Mr. Swall as the driving force behind the decision to move the school to its current location in Pance, Cali, as well as for his amazing Christmas Programs, tree planting initiatives, and creation of the "pickle palace."


His dedication to providing a conducive environment for learning and growth was instrumental in transforming Colegio Bolivar into what it is today.



Mr. Swall's passion for education, his leadership, and his unwavering commitment to excellence have left a permanent mark on our school community. We are deeply grateful for his contributions and his lasting legacy.


Let us remember Mr. Swall's dedication to education and his profound impact on the lives of countless students, faculty, and alumni.


Our thoughts and prayers are with Mr. Swall's family during this difficult time.
