History

Around the 1890's the Catholic Church began a mission in Lumberton. It was one of many small towns in Northern New Mexico that began to build Catholic community. Fr. Antonio Jouvenzeau ministered to the missions from Parkview to Farmington. In 1910 the Franciscan Fathers took over all the missions in the area. Around 1915 the Fathers built the first school house. The two story structure housed grades 1-8. By 1920 the school was staffed by Franciscan sisters. Until three years ago, sisters of various orders have taught and run the school. The population of the school and enrollment has changed very little since that time. Enrollment fluctuates between 80 - 110 students.
