History

Established in 1949.

San Gabriel Mission High School students have the unique spiritual opportunity of attending school daily in the shadow of the beautiful historic San Gabriel Mission, founded in 1771 by the Franciscan Padres and often used by Father Junipero Serra as his headquarters. The Mission is the fourth in the chain of the twenty-​one California missions.

San Gabriel Mission High School, established in 1949 as a Catholic co-​educational parochial high school under the direction of the Claretian Fathers and Dominican Sisters of Mission San Jose, drew its first student body from neighboring parishes in the San Gabriel Valley.

In June 1953, Mission High School graduated its first senior class. In the spring of 1954, the school received full accreditation, which it has maintained through the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. San Gabriel Mission High School became an all-​girls school in September, 1971 because of the withdrawal of the Claretian Fathers.
