Background

Saint Albert, located on Gleason Avenue, was dedicated on June 7, 1964. It replaced Saint Francis, Mount Loretto, and St. Joseph High Schools. In 1969 three elementary schools, St. Francis, St. Patrick, and St. Peter consolidated into St. Albert's Schools, as did the remainder of the archdiocese's elementary schools in Council Bluffs in 1972.[7]

In 1972 the consolidated school system had multiple campuses. the Holy Family building, the Queen of Apostles building, and the Gleason building housing Kindergarten to grade 3, grades 4–6, and grades 7–12, respectively. In 1987 the grades K-3 were moved to the former DeForest Elementary School, which Saint Albert purchased from the Council Bluffs Community School District. The middle school grades moved to the Gleason Avenue campus in 1999. Elementary grades moved to the Gleason Avenue campus in 2009.[7]
