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.
