St. Therese Catholic School was opened in September, 2000.  It is a Diocesan School under the jurisdiction of the Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Pueblo and is serving children throughout Pueblo County.  Policy-making is delegated to a seven member board of directors appointed for a three (3) year term of office.  Four members are parents of students attending the school, two are representatives from the community who have no children in the school and one is a representative of the Bishop who serves at the will of the Bishop.  The parents and students undertook the construction of the 8,000 square foot building at a cost of some $850,000.  The building began in May of 2000, and was completed in mid-September, 2000.  The final payment on the indebtedness of the building was made in March of 2005.
