In 1980 the remaining dormitories closed. In 1969, Holy Rosary Mission was officially renamed Red Cloud Indian School, both as a token of respect for the man whose work had made the school possible and as part of a program of re-identification to emphasize its native-American roots over cultural imperialism, and the lasting bond between groups from two separate cultures who wanted to enhance the best parts of both worlds to serve the people of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. The school began closing dormitories in the 1960s. The farms associated with the school were converted to various uses like football fields, field houses, and parking lots. Classes became integrated and the boarding parts of the school were closed. Five students graduated from the school in 1942, with Oryal Cuny as the salutatorian and Lyle Clifford as the valedictorian. The second K-8 school, Our Lady of Lourdes, became a part of the Red Cloud System in 1931. The young women often worked in the kitchen and laundry rooms, while the young men spent their time in the wood and metal shops, or farming the land. The older students spent half their day learning reading, writing, and arithmetic and the other half performing domestic duties to keep the mission running. Students were divided into three classes: one for all younger students and separate classes for older girls and older boys. The student population quickly grew to more than 100 students. The four-school, K-12 school system was renamed Red Cloud in 1969. It was the only two-story building in the area.
All of the bricks for the building were made from local clay and lime on the grounds of what is today Red Cloud Indian School's Pine Ridge campus. Once the school had been approved, the construction of the main mission building began. Francis of Penance and Christian Charity founded the institution at the request of Chief Red Cloud. The school was founded in 1888 as Holy Rosary Mission. The other campus, Our Lady of Lourdes Elementary School ( Lakota: Wíŋyaŋ Wakȟáŋ Owáyawa), is adjacent to the Porcupine CDP and has a Porcupine address. This campus includes Red Cloud Elementary School ( Lakota: Maȟpíya Lúta Hukhúčiyela Owáyawa and Red Cloud High School ( Lakota: Maȟpíya Lúta Waŋkáwapȟaya Owáyawa). It is not in the Pine Ridge census-designated place. The main campus has a Pine Ridge postal address. It is located in the Diocese of Rapid City and serves Oglala Lakota Native American children on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.
