More than 125 years ago, Red Cloud's very first students—around 100 Lakota children from grades one through eight—began their classes at what was then called Holy Rosary Mission School. This school was established at the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. It was founded at the request of Chief Red Cloud himself; a group of Jesuits, Franciscan sisters and Lakota people worked together to construct the school's first building. At the time, Chief Red Cloud recognized the Lakota were facing irrevocable economic and cultural loss. His wish was for the Jesuits to educate Lakota children to "walk in two worlds" so as to survive in a rapidly changing environment, while still sustaining their Lakota identity. Still today, we honor that wish.

People of the Acoma and Laguna tribal nations reside in this region of New Mexico, which is known for its scenic deserts and mesas. St. Joseph Mission School opened in 1923 in San Fidel. The school was built by Franciscan Brothers from the Cincinnati Province and was originally used as a public school. It later became a parochial school in the 1950s. The stated mission of the school is to “share the gospel hope through Faith, Academics, Culture, Environment, and Service. Through our Catholic Faith we are creating a culture of responsible citizens who are positive contributors to our ethnically diverse rural community.” St. Joseph’s alumni include high school valedictorians and salutatorians, accountants, doctors, dentists, pharmacists, teachers, engineers, business owners, and many tribal leaders of the Acoma and Laguna Pueblos.
