Mother Marie Rose's charism is incarnated in the lives of the Sisters of the Holy Names who continue the mission of their foundress through the ministry of education.

Mother Marie Rose believed that education, especially education in faith, was invaluable. to her, helping the minds and hearts of others to grow meant opening new doors and new possibilities.

Faithful to her spirit and vision, Ramona Convent Secondary School has served young women in the San Gabriel Valley for more than 118 years.
