All Saints’ Episcopal mission became a parish in 1952 under its first rector, the Rev. Paul DeWitt Urbano, and the church was completed six years later. All Saints’ Episcopal Day School opened in the fall of 1963 with 60 students in kindergarten through grade three. Within five years it had become a K-8 school, graduating its first class in 1969.
All Saints’ Episcopal Church and Day School share an 11-acre former date farm parcel in the heart of a beautiful residential district in Central Phoenix. Some school buildings date back to the church and school’s founding. Major remodeling and construction in 1988 produced an art and music building, outdoor amphitheater, school offices, library, lunch pavilion, sports court, and science and computer labs. Between 1998 and 2006, several new facilities were completed including the David John Watson Academic Building which houses middle school classrooms, two state-of-the-art science labs, and two computer labs; the Father Carl G. Carlozzi Gymnasium; and the new Manning Hall which serves as a prime meeting space and includes a commercial kitchen and cafeteria.
During the summer of 2007 campus facilities were expanded to include a pre kindergarten center featuring two classrooms, kitchen area, bathrooms, and a new playground; a new band room; and a lower school science room. Outdoor pavilions, shade trees, the Memorial Garden, and a redesigned playing field contribute to a wholesome, “outdoorsy” feel and create an academic oasis in the center of the city.
