Biographical History
Founded in 1888 by the Women's Board of Home Mission of the Presbyterian Church, their chief purpose was to teach Pima and Tohono O'odham children English and Christianity. Enrollment of children was assisted by the work of Rev. Charles H. Cook, minister and teacher at Sacaton, Ariz. By 1950 enrollment was diminishing and the school was closed in 1960.
Tucson Indian Training School was founded in 1888 by, and administered directly by, the Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A. Board of Home/National Missions to educate Pima and Papago children. Originally an elementary school, it later added high school, then became exclusively secondary; it closed in 1960.
