What Holy Martyrs Cabayan Elem/Ferrahian High School does

Holy Martyrs Ferrahian High School is a private Armenian-American secondary school located at 5300 White Oak Avenue in Encino, California, serving students in grades 6-12. Founded with graduating classes dating back to 1969, the school operates as part of the broader Holy Martyrs educational system, which includes Cabayan Elementary School and Armenian Preschool, and is governed by a School Board appointed by the Prelacy Board of Regents of the Armenian Apostolic Church. The institution delivers a comprehensive curriculum built on California State Standards with an Honors/AP program, integrated with Armenian language and Armenian studies, and supports an athletics program branded "Armens" (basketball, volleyball, cross-country, soccer, track) competing in the California Interschool Federation Liberty League. Its stated mission is to prepare students academically for college and life while fostering participation in both the Armenian-American community and broader American society; over 2,200 alumni have graduated since 1969.

The school's technology stack is built on standard K-12 platforms rather than proprietary systems. The public-facing website and parent/student portal are powered by Edlio; student records and grades are managed in Focus Student Information System; Google Classroom supports AP coursework and summer assignments; IXL provides adaptive practice; Parchment handles transcript requests; and Zoom has been used for virtual events. Day-to-day operations are supported by ~55 staff members including faculty, administrators, and support personnel, and the school holds an undisclosed sector-specific accreditation.

The business model is tuition-driven and private. Revenue streams consist of annual tuition and registration fees (set by the School Board in cooperation with the Principal, not publicly disclosed), AP exam fees, athletics program fees, and activity-related charges such as summer programs and bus services. Distribution is direct enrollment targeted at Armenian-American families in the greater Los Angeles area, with outreach via the school website, social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram), email, parent orientation events, and Armenian community events. All expenditures exceeding $50,000 require approval from the Prelacy Board of Regents, indicating ecclesiastical oversight of financial decisions.
