Contents

Owned and operated by the Diocese of Orange, it is accredited by the Western Catholic Educational Association and the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, and is a member of the National Catholic Educational Association. Rosary's brother school is Servite High School. Both schools had links to the now-defunct Cornelia Connelly High School.

Rosary offers a needs-based scholarship program as well as scholarships in various areas to incoming freshman students.

History

The school was opened as Rosary High School in 1965 by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles, and was originally administered by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange. In 1976 it came under the direction of the Diocese of Orange upon its creation. [2]

The school began significant reorganization starting the 2014-15 school year, including a new organizational structure, new curricular and marketing programs, and the renaming of the institution as Rosary Academy the following year. [3]

Red and Gold

One of Rosary Academy's most novel traditions is that of "Red and Gold", an annual school-wide, student-run musical competition. From January to March, the students are divided into two teams (the Red and Gold teams) which each have student captains in the categories of script, drama, choral, dance, drill, props, publicity, media, fashion, historian, house manager, and stage tech, as well as two overall producers. A neutral ("White") team also participates, made up of ASB members as well as representatives from the junior and senior classes. The White team helps to facilitate the logistical portion of the production and announces the winner at the end of the last performance. The goal of the annual Red and Gold competition is to feature the talents of students and also to instill leadership skills and promote teamwork across all grade levels.

Stage collapse

On March 8, 2014, the theater stage in the associate Servite High School collapsed during the performance of a stage play, injuring 25 young students. [4] The group of Rosary actors were performing the comedy Theatrical at the time the collapse. [5] 250 persons had been on the platform. [6]
