History: In 1896, Rev. James A. Menaul, a Presbyterian minister sought and received Presbyterian mission funding for a boarding school that would serve Spanish speaking boys from New Mexico, primarily from the northern portion of the state. In 1882, the site that is now the current Menaul School campus, was purchased through the efforts of local Presbyterians. In 1891, the government ended the contract with the Presbyterians, resumed the direct operation of the Indian school, and relocated Pueblo Training School west of the Menaul School campus. Menaul School is proud of its tradition of educating students in New Mexico. Today it accepts students from all cultural, religious and socio-economic backgrounds.
