This year marks the 135th anniversary of the founding of Ramona Convent Secondary School in Alhambra, CA. In honor of this milestone, special celebrations will take place throughout the year, along with the sharing of historical “fun facts” about the school’s rich legacy.

Fun Fact: The wood used for the processional cross at Mass was crafted from the balustrade of Ramona’s original building. Additionally, the back wall in the chapel’s vestibule was constructed using wood from the chapel floor of the former building.
