Albuquerque Indian School

History
The Albuquerque Indian School was established in 1881 at Duranes, New Mexico in 1881 and moved to Albuquerque in 1882. It was operated by the Presbyterian Home Mission Board until 1886, when it was turned over to the Office of Indian Affairs. From 1901 to 1911 the school had responsibility for the day schools and the agency duties for the pueblos in the area. The Albuquerque Indian School was placed under the jurisdiction of the United Pueblos Agency in 1935.
