Principal's Message

We are committed to enriching the lives of the students we serve while inspiring creative thought.

Ramona Convent Secondary School, a 19-acre campus with a rich history, prepares young women to be resilient people of faith who think critically in all facets of life. When the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary arrived in the Los Angeles area, they came with the vision, motivation, and courage to create an educational platform for young women who aspire to become socially conscious leaders. One hundred and thirty-four years later, Ramona Convent continues to be the San Gabriel Valley’s premier all-girls’ high school that delivers a rigorous educational curriculum alongside leadership development and spiritual growth.

Our dedicated faculty members take pride in their craft and are committed to enriching the lives of the students we serve while inspiring creative thought. We have a highly educated, compassionate, and inspired administration, faculty, and staff who are dedicated to student development and measured outcomes. The arts, sciences, athletics, and interdisciplinary curriculum help our students obtain a global perspective. Faith formation allows students to fully understand and appreciate the importance of service and support for the marginalized and the poor. Together, these elements enable our students to become well-rounded young women attaining candidacy for higher education.

Ramona Convent students are accepted into California’s top-ranking colleges and universities along with nationwide ones as well. We provide broad exposure to these campuses through numerous college tours throughout the year.

Our foundress, Blessed Marie-Rose once said, “Since we tread along the same path, let us lend a hand to one another.” We are the Tigers - fearless, brave, and strong - but most importantly, we are kind, hospitable, and respectful. As Principal, I am committed to fully continuing the vision set by the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary. We invite you to visit our beautiful campus in the city of Alhambra and see why Ramona Convent Secondary School is a school unlike any other.
