The San Felipe de Neri community became active in formal education as early as 1770, when space in the parish house was used as classrooms.
A century later, with financial assistance from Bernalillo County, the parish began operating Albuquerque's first free school.
Today, the parish school offers a 21st-century education for students in pre-kindergarten through eighth grade.
