| In 1923, Bishop A. J. Schuler of the El Paso Diocese authorized Fr. Doherty, Paster of St. Joseph's Church, to build a school. It was admirably conducted by the Sisters of Loretto and had four grades. Every year after that, another grade was added. The Sisters of Loretto staffed St. Joseph's from 1923 and 1989. A debt of gratitude is owed to them for their contribution. Between 1977 and 1989, the school was administered and staffed variously by the Sisters of St. Francis and/or the laity. From 1989 until the present, the school has been administered by the Brothers of the Poor of St. Francis, whose members also serve on the faculty. The philosophy of St. Joseph's School is rooted in the belief that each student is a child of God who has been created for a definite purpose and destined for eternal life in heaven. |
