San Gabriel Mission High School

What San Gabriel Mission High School does

San Gabriel Mission High School is a single-site, college-preparatory Catholic secondary school serving young women in grades 9 through 12, located at 254 S Santa Anita St on the historic grounds of Mission San Gabriel Arcángel in San Gabriel, California. Founded in 1949 and operated under the religious guidance of the Dominican Sisters of Mission San Jose in partnership with the Claretian Fathers and the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, the school delivers a UC/CSU A-G aligned curriculum featuring more than 14 Advanced Placement courses, an AP Capstone track, a 15:1 student-to-teacher ratio, and a stated 100% graduation rate. Co-curricular offerings include CIF Division 7 athletics (with approximately 50% student participation), visual and performing arts, student leadership programs (ASB, SMART Team, Ambassador Program), the Dominican-sponsored VERITAS campus ministry, comprehensive college counseling, tutoring, summer programs, and a dedicated international student program supporting F-1 visa applicants.

The school runs on a subscription-style annual tuition model priced under $10,000 per student, materially below the $15,000-$25,000 California private/Catholic school average, with revenue supplemented by a $150 international application fee, parish support, donor contributions, and tuition assistance administered through the Catholic Education Foundation. Technology is entirely off-the-shelf: Google Classroom for learning management, Aeries as the student information system, and Finalsite powering the public website and online enrollment portal. The GTM motion is a direct-to-consumer, sales-led enrollment funnel combining website inquiry forms, on-campus admissions events and tours, Catholic elementary school feeder partnerships, alumni word-of-mouth, and dedicated international recruitment.

The institution holds dual WCEA and WASC accreditation through the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, maintains SSL encryption and GDPR-aligned data handling on its web properties, and is governed by a Consultative School Board reporting to religious authority rather than equity holders. Headcount is approximately 80 total staff, with Michelle Sarmiento-Deary serving as Principal. As a parish-affiliated nonprofit, SGMHS has no equity structure, no funding rounds, and no M&A history.
