Rosary High School is a Roman Catholic Catholic all-girls college preparatory high school located in Fullerton, California. 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 and its sister school is Cornelia Connelly High School.
Rosary was opened 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 Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange at the latter's creation.[2]
Rosary's brother school is Servite High School, in Anaheim, California. They share many activities together.
One of Rosary High School'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 & Gold competition is to feature talents of students but also to instill leadership skills and promote team work across all grade levels.
Rosary offers a needs based scholarship program as well as scholarships in various areas to incoming freshman students.
