In 1975, the school came under the direction of the Salesian Sisters, who operated the school for three years when a lay director was hired. In 1992, the Incarnate Word Sisters were asked to return under pastor Msgr. Lucian Braseley. The school returned to the direction of lay personnel however, in 1997 it again became administered by Incarnate Word Sister with two Ursuline Sisters as teachers.
