Rosary Academy has a Parent Council.  They meet once a month from September through May.  The director of advancement represents the school at all parent council meetings. Some meetings will include representatives from academics, finance, admissions, athletics, and/or activities to give the parent council updates from their area.

           The council is led by a president.  The current president served as co-president                 last school year.  Currently, there is no term limits.

The functions of the parent council include:

• To support and promote the interests of all the academic and co-curricular programs sponsored by the school.
• To work in conjunction with the advancement office to plan fundraising activities to meet the needs of the school.
• To promote school spirit and commitment through social involvements of the parents.
• To provide opportunities for spiritual development of its members.

We are pleased to reinstate the Alumnae Association. Events planned throughout the year create a chance for alumnae to gather, reconnect, and network within their Rosary community.

Rosary Academy was founded in September 1965 under the auspices of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles and administered by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange to provide greater opportunity for girls residing in the central and northeastern portions of Orange County to attend a Catholic secondary school. In 1976, with the establishment of the Diocese of Orange, Rosary Academy came under the jurisdiction of the Roman Catholic Bishop of Orange. Presently Rosary Academy is also under the supervision of the Vicar of Faith Formation/Superintendent of Catholic Schools. Students now represent a broader geographic range that includes the counties of Orange, Los Angeles, Riverside, and San Bernardino.
