In 1966, the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate
Heart of Mary, from Pennsylvania, came to St. Cyprian Parish at the
request of Rev. John Gallagher. The IHM community provided the pastor
with three sisters to open the school in September 1968, with an
enrollment of sixty-two students in Grades 1–3.
Adding a new grade each year, the first graduation
was held in 1974. In 1985, a multi-purpose hall was constructed and, in
1986, a library was added to this facility and the Church sacristy was
converted for use as a Kindergarten.
The Extended Care program was begun in 1990 and in
the fall of 1991, the outdoor eating area for the students had concrete
padding installed. Art classes with specialists were also begun.
