MRS. ROSA RAMIREZ

PRINCIPAL

Having attended La Purisima myself and later watching my own children graduate from the school, I have experienced firsthand the lasting impact this community has on students and families across generations. These experiences have given me a deep appreciation for the traditions, values, faith, and sense of family that make La Purisima so special.

I received my Bachelor’s degree in Liberal Studies from Chapman University, my Master of Science in Curriculum and Instruction from California State University, Fullerton, and a Certificate in Catholic School Leadership from Loyola Marymount University. My educational background, combined with my experience in Catholic schools, has strengthened my commitment to academic excellence, instructional leadership, and faith-based education.

I believe in creating a welcoming and supportive environment where every child feels valued, encouraged, and challenged to reach their full potential. I value strong partnerships with families, teachers, parish members, and students, knowing that collaboration is essential to a thriving school community.

Grounded in the mission and charism of St. Jeanne de Lestonnac, I believe in educating the whole child while helping students grow in faith, character, leadership, compassion, and service to others. It is an honor to continue the traditions and legacy of La Purisima while helping guide our school into the future.
