CMDS was founded in 1950, and hosts more than 3,000 students. Part of the school´s finances were used for the seven-year-long construction of Marista Hall.
The school is named after Dom Silvério Gomes Pimenta, a Catholic priest of the early twentieth century that was a member of the Academia Brasileira de Letras, the Brazilian Academy of Literature.
The current principal of CMDS is Roberto Gameiro.
