The school became Ramsey Mission School in 1880, accepting only Choctaw girls after that time. In 1889, control was turned over to the Presbyterians and the school was relocated to a new building south of Wewoka, where it became part of Mekusukey Academy and in 1900 was overtaken by the Federal Government.
