History
From the beginning, the Harlandale Independent School District has been fortunate to be part of the rich and unique cultural heritage inherent to the South Side of San Antonio. No other school district in the city can match the pioneering history of this area, especially with the historic San Antonio missions. In fact, one of those missions - San José - was home to the beginning of education in Harlandale.
San José Mission was founded in 1720 by Padre Antonio Margil de Jesus. The Franciscan fathers of the mission were the first teachers of the area.
Among the first settlers of the mission was Pedro Huizar, whose famous "Rosa's Window" is the earliest known work of sculpture in the United States. "Rosa's Window" has been described as one of the most beautiful designs in America. The legend of the window's origin is as renowned as the window itself. Pedro Huizar created the window for his sweetheart Rosita, who was to join him at the mission. Before the window was complete, however, word came that Rosita had died in an epidemic that broke out among the ship's passengers. Huizar was heartbroken and stopped working on the window. Padre Margil convinced him to complete it in her memory. Huizar would later serve as a surveyor and justicio of Mission Concepcion and San José. Huizar was alcalde of Mission Concepción in 1795.
