What Holy Rosary Catholic School does

Holy Rosary Catholic School is a private, nonprofit parochial school operating a single campus at 505 California Street in Woodland, California. Founded in 1885 by Reverend John McGinty and opened on August 16, 1886 as Holy Rosary Academy (staffed by nine Sisters of the Holy Cross), it is the oldest Catholic school in Yolo County and the third-oldest in the Sacramento region. The school serves students from Transitional Kindergarten through 8th grade, drawing families from Woodland, Davis, Winters, Esparto, and surrounding Yolo County communities, under the governance and academic standards of the Diocese of Sacramento.

The school's core offering is a faith-integrated TK-8 academic program aligned with California Common Core standards, supplemented by a 1:1 Chromebook program in grades 1-8, Project Lead the Way STEM curriculum, the Education in Virtue character formation program (developed by the Dominican Sisters of Mary), and the Catholic Textbook Project for grades 5-8 history. Supporting programs include sacramental preparation (First Reconciliation, First Eucharist, Confirmation), PAL athletics, Student Council, Diocesan academic competitions, and clubs such as the UC Davis STEM Squad, Yolo Farm to Fork Garden Club, Yearbook Club, and Crochet Club. The school holds dual WASC and WCEA accreditations.

Holy Rosary generates revenue primarily through tiered annual tuition ($3,784-$7,902 per child depending on parish membership status and sibling order), one-time registration fees ($425 before May 1, $525 after), Extended Day Program fees for before/after care ($130-$295 per family per month with drop-in rates of $15/hour), and the Scrip gift card fundraising program via RaiseRight. Distribution is direct-to-family through online application (RenWeb), campus tours, and the FACTS Management System for enrollment and tuition processing. The school operates under lay leadership since 1986, governed by the parish pastor, principal (Hannah Giovannetti), and the Catholic School Advisory Commission (CSAC).

Direct peers

• Our Lady of Lourdes School: Catholic K-8 school in Colusa, CA, operating under the same Diocese of Sacramento. Directly comparable faith-based K-8 model with similar tuition, parish affiliation, and Diocesan competition participation. Notably referenced in Holy Rosary's own staff bios as a prior employer of a current teacher.
• Presentation School: Diocese of Sacramento Catholic K-8 school serving a similar Northern California community. Operates the same combination of faith formation, academic curriculum, sacramental preparation, and Diocesan competition participation as Holy Rosary.
• St. Joseph School: Diocese of Sacramento Catholic K-8 school with similar parish-affiliated governance, Diocesan competition participation, and faith-centered academic program.
• Holy Spirit Parish School: Catholic K-8 parish school in the Diocese of Sacramento. Closely comparable TK-8 structure, tuition model, parish affiliation, and STEM/faith curriculum integration.

• Woodland Christian School: Faith-based private K-8 school located in the same Woodland, CA community as Holy Rosary. Directly competes for the same Yolo County families seeking private Christian education.

Regional players

• Christian Brothers High School: Catholic secondary school in the Diocese of Sacramento. While operating at the high school level rather than TK-8, it represents a common next-step institution for Holy Rosary graduates and shares Diocesan affiliation, PAL athletics, and competition infrastructure.
• Jesuit High School: Catholic high school in Sacramento drawing from the broader Northern California Catholic K-8 pipeline. Represents a likely continuation institution for Holy Rosary8th-grade graduates.
• St. Francis Catholic High School: Catholic high school in Sacramento operated under the Diocese of Sacramento. Comparable in Diocesan affiliation, Catholic identity, and family-feeding pipeline from TK-8 Catholic schools like Holy Rosary.

Broad incumbents

• Sacramento Country Day School: Independent private K-12 school in the Sacramento region. Competes with Holy Rosary for Sacramento-area families seeking private education, though without the Catholic/parish affiliation, and operates at a larger scale.
