First To Graduate From El Paso's Only High School-1887
Image caption: Kate Moore was one of two members of the first graduating class of El Paso, Texas only high school in 1887. (Photo courtesy of the El Paso County Historical Society) So it was that Kate Moore enrolled at El Paso’s first high school and in 1887 at age 16, became the first female to graduate from El Paso's first high school in 1887, one of two students to complete requirements that year, the other being George Prentiss Robinson, 20, the son of a Fort Bliss paymaster. It was one of many firsts as Kate Moore defied the norms of this West Texas town as well as those in the rest of the country in her growth as an active, independent woman. Only a year later, Kate’s father moved the family to San Diego, Calif., where Kate enrolled in a local high school and received a second diploma in 1889. That year her father died and Kate moved back to El Paso in 1890.
