Rosary High School is an exclusive private Catholic all-girls college preparatory high school located in Fullerton, California. It was opened in 1965 and is under the direction of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange. The school was first associated with the sisters of St. Joseph of Orange. It is a member of the National Catholic Educational Association and is accredited by the Western Catholic Education Association and the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.

Rosary's brother school is Servite High School and its sister school is Cornelia Connelly High School, and together they make up Tri-school.

One of Rosary High School's most novel traditions is that of "Red and Gold," a schoolwide, student-run musical competition put on annually. From January to March, the school is split up into two teams (the Red and Gold teams) which each have student captains in the categories of script, drama, choral, dance, drill, props, publicity, web design, historian, backdrop, 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 Red Team won this year's production of Red and Gold.
