History

Holy Rosary School has a long and rich history, dating back to 1886, when nine Holy Cross Sisters came to Woodland from Notre Dame, Indiana, to begin a boarding school for girls. That school was known as the Holy Rosary Academy. In 1920, the Academy was awarded full accreditation by the University of California. For more than a decade, the teaching staff of Holy Rosary School has been a dedicated, all lay teaching staff. As an integral part of Holy Rosary Parish, our school participates in the teaching mission of Jesus Christ under the guidance and direction of the Diocese of Sacramento and Holy Rosary Parish. We are proud of the accomplishments of both our students and our faculty. We welcome you to Holy Rosary Parish School.
