*Lillia J. Duval First SJA Graduate 1918

Originally built in 1914 and rebuilt in our current location, in 1927, St. Joan of Arc School was first staffed by the Sisters of the Presentation of Mary. Their foundress, Blessed Anne-Marie Rivier, was a true educator and lover of the poor. Consumed by zeal she proclaimed: to make Jesus Christ known and loved, or to die."
