Sacred Heart Cathedral School opened as a mission school, in the remodeled old church, in September 1916. The Sisters of St. Joseph of Wichita began their educational mission with the parish at that time. The first enrollment listed 72 students and two classrooms. By the late 1920’s there was major over crowding so major additions to the school were constructed in 1929, 1949, and in 1954. Sacred Heart Church became a cathedral for the newly erected Diocese of Dodge City in 1951. The Cathedral and School was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 at the 100th anniversary of the church. The prominent architecture of the church and building are perfect examples of Spanish Mission design.
