History
editJuan Diego Academy was founded in 2011 after several years of planning and fundraising. The original school buildings were the site of St. Joseph and St. Peter Seminary.[1][dubious – discuss] In 2018, the United States government announced its intentions to acquire land near the school from the Brownsville Diocese through eminent domain in order to build additional border fencing.[2]
