St. Rose of Lima Parish School
The earliest parish schools were located at 1090 St. Nicholas Avenue and then at the Triangle Building on West 163rd Street and Amsterdam. On January 5, 1922, the Rev. Msgr. John R. Mahoney announced the building of the first modern parish school, at its current location, 1086 St. Nicholas Avenue on the corner of West 164th Street. The building's cornerstone was set in place on July 13, 1924, and construction complete in 1925. The new school was blessed on November 15, 1925.[7] The principal at St. Rose of Lima School before it closed was Mr. Joseph J. De Bona. St. Rose of Lima School was located at 517 West 164th Street, Washington Heights, New York, New York, 10032. The Archdiocese of New York announced that St. Rose of Lima was one of the schools that closed in June 2019.
The early schools had used nuns from the Ursulines of the Blessed Virgin from the Our Lady of Lourdes parish nearby, but they were unable to provide a sufficient number of teachers, so four nuns from the Sisters of St. Dominic in Sparkill, New York came to New York City at the request of Mahoney.[7]
