The 圣名姐妹会 of Jesus and Mary founded Ramona Convent Secondary School in 1889 as a boarding and day school in what is now 阿尔罕布拉宫, 洛杉矶的一个郊区, where James de Barth Shorb had given them 15 acres of land. It was at the urging of his daughter, 伊迪丝, who did not like being sent far away to Oakland for her schooling, 和他的 realization of the growing need of Catholic education for his own family and the neighboring rancheros, that Mr. Shorb donated the land and invited the Sisters to build a school.

Out of gratitude to their benefactors, the Sisters called the convent
“Ramona” in memory of Ramona Wilson, the maternal grandmother of Ramona
Shorb. The first building to be erected was a four-story red brick building on
the knoll that dominated the Convent grounds – about where the east
wing of the administration building including the chapel, now stands.

10月1日, 1987 the Whittier Narrows earthquake caused irreparable damage to the grand old building. Police and firemen arrived minutes after the quake and put up barriers around the main building. The building inspectors arrived in the early afternoon and determined that the main four-story building would have to be demolished. Demolition began on December 11, 1987.
Groundbreaking for the new administration building was held on October 6, 1988. The building was dedicated on November 12, 1989, creating a new face of Ramona as it began its second century.
In honor of Ramona’s 125 Anniversary in 2015, a statue of the foundress of the 圣名姐妹会, 祝福玛丽·罗丝·杜罗舍, was crafted by Sister Paula Mary Turnbull, SNJM.
