“EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — Loretto Academy celebrated its centennial this year, marking 100 years since its founding by Mother Praxedes.

“The Catholic school opened back in the 1920’s, as an all-girls boarding school.

“Mother Praxedes was mother superior for the Loretto Sisters and during her time she opened up 51 schools across the county and during her retirement she opened up one last school, in El Paso, Texas.”
