Notes: In 1898, the Franciscan Friars opened a mission at the request of Mother Katharine Drexel (founder of the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament), who purchased the land. The school opened in 1902. In 1950, a co-ed high school was built, which became all-girls in 1966. In 1981, the boarding school closed, and the high school once again served both boys and girls. In 1993, the mission was incorporated as a nonprofit organization and remains a sponsored ministry of the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament.
