Founded in 1889 by the
California province of the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary,
Ramona Convent Secondary School is one of the oldest operating schools in
California. As a Catholic school, Ramona provides a Christian
environment in which young women develop academic excellence, spiritual
depth, personal integrity, and leadership skills that will prepare them to
meet the challenges of the twenty-first century. We welcome a diverse
student body, both ethnically and economically, so that students can learn
from each other and grow to appreciate different cultures and traditions.
We have created a comprehensive curriculum that results in a well-rounded
student who has learned to think critically and ethically. We offer our
students the vital tools of education, self-assurance, leadership skills,
and community involvement so that, regardless of their economic
background, they will be able to succeed in their chosen career path and
in the world. Ramona is justifiably proud of our graduates as they pursue
their futures and make their contributions to the public and private
sectors. Among their numbers are teachers and social workers, as well as
doctors, nurses, lawyers, therapists, and heads of non-profit
organizations.
Each year at graduation, the long lists of scholarships,
grants, awards, and honors-at-entrance testify to the continued academic
excellence of Ramona graduates. In keeping with her tradition that now
spans three centuries, as well as the charism of the
Sisters of the Holy Names, Ramona continues to prepare young women for the
responsibilities and leadership required in today’s competitive and
complex world.
