Cornelia Connelly School of the Holy Child Jesus (Connelly), was a Catholic college-preparatory high school for girls in Anaheim, California, the only such independent school in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange. It operated from 1961 to 2020. [3]

Contents

At the time of its closure, Connelly enrolled 124 girls, [4] and was accredited to the Western Association of Schools and Colleges and Western Catholic Educational Association among others. [5]

History

The school was established in 1961 by the Sisters of the Society of the Holy Child Jesus, and named after Cornelia Connelly, founder of that Roman Catholic religious institute. It was one of thirteen Holy Child schools in the world, and through the Holy Child Exchange Program, students could spend part of their school year at other Holy Child schools in the U.S., England, Ireland, or Ghana. [6]

Connelly's Board of Trustees voted in October 2019 to close the school permanently at the end of the 2019–20 academic year, citing "years of diminishing enrollment, increased debt, and shortfalls in fundraising efforts." [7]
