Our Lady of Loretto High School Los Angeles 1949-1989

Our Lady of Loretto High School was opened in September, 1949 at 227 N. Lake St., Los Angeles, CA du "We Are a Family" said one large banner.

Our Lady of Loretto High School was opened in September, 1949 during the episcopate of Cardinal James Francis McIntyre. During its forty year history, the school offered a curriculum of studies that challenged the young women to meet their educational goals and to reach their fullest potential. A changing community and changing times necessitated the merging of the two schools. Our Lady of Loretto-Bishop Conaty High School was created in 1989. In July, 1994 the name was officially reversed to Bishop Conaty- Our Lady of Loretto High School.

Loretto Parents, Students Vow to Save School :
Archdiocese Warned Again: 'We Will Fight'
December 15, 1988|RICH CONNELL | Times Staff Writer

On Tuesday, after news arrived that their school would close, some of the girls at Our Lady of Loretto High School cried. But by Wednesday afternoon, most of the watery eyes gave way to a steely resolve not to allow the small school to be shut down without a fight. The Archdiocese of Los Angeles announced that the 249-student girls' school would be shut down because of declining enrollment. On Wednesday, about 100 uniformed, banner-carrying students staged a boisterous, emotional demonstration on the front steps of the Lake Street campus southwest of Echo Park. Gathering as school let out, the girls chanted "We will fight" and "Save Loretto," then loudly and proudly bellowed out their school song. Parents who had arrived to collect their daughters blared their car horns in support. "We are going to protest and try to get this decision changed. It's not fair at all," said teary-eyed junior Alina Jenie. "They don't realize how much they are hurting us." Later, at an impromptu meeting in the school auditorium, Yvette Carreon, a senior and cheerleader, took the stage to help organize protests, including a march on the archdiocese headquarters. "This school has taught me how to stand up for what I believe," she told the audience. "I'm not willing to quit now."
