"In September 1956, St. Patrick School opened with grades 1-3. Each year an additional grade was added until there were grades 1 through 8. The Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, provincial house in Tucson, Arizona, have staffed the school since it beginning. Later that year, the convent building was completed and the Sisters who had been living with Mrs. Sebastian Claeys moved to the convent. The first three sisters were Srs. Blanche Marie, Philomena, and Gabriel.

In September 1958, the school and the church/hall facility were completed with the donation of many generous gifts. In 1959, Fr. Thomas E. Kane became pastor. The St. Patrick “Roundup and Barbecue” began as an annual fund-raiser in October with Mel Marcos as chairman. In 1961, St. Patrick School was complete with 8 grades. Mother Dolorosa was Principal. There were 338 students in the school." (visit link)
