Brief History: Originally opened by the Presbyterian Church, the school was transferred to federal government control in 1884.

By 1912, the school had 8 primary grades and over 300 students and, by 1925, enrollment increased to over 800 students and the school expanded to grades 11 and 12.

The Albuquerque Indian School continued operating until 1982, when its program was transferred to the Santa Fe Indian School.

The school was demolished and a federal office building now sits near the site of the original school.
