Phoenix Indian School
Arizona, United States · built 1891
The Phoenix Indian School, or Phoenix Indian High School in its later years, was a Bureau of Indian Affairs-operated school in Encanto Village, in the heart of Phoenix, Arizona. It served lower grades also from 1891 to 1935, and then served as a high school thereafter. It opened in 1891 and closed in 1990 on the orders of the federal government. During its existence, it was the only non-reservation BIA school in Arizona. The Phoenix Indian School Historic District is a three-acre (1.2 ha) portion of the 160-acre (65 ha) campus that contains some of the most historic buildings and became part of the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.
