Emily Rivera '19
I can confidently say that I can be myself at OLP. I was able to find a great group of friends spanning out through all four grades. They are very accepting of who I am as a person and I have no doubt in my mind that has helped shape who I am as a person today.
Academics
Creativity is at the forefront of what 21st century companies are looking for in their employees. Here at OLP, students continue to break the mold and think outside the box of normalcy and expectation. We give you all the tools you need to succeed in college including our block schedule and college preparatory curriculum.

OLP stood out from the other high schools we were deciding between because of its history and dedication to educating girls to be the next generation of women leaders. We believe in girls forming, creating and finding their own strong voice and convictions that can sometimes be quieted in coed situations.

Troy and Paola Avila Gorostiza '93
As an alumna of OLP and my husband an alum of Saints, we could not imagine raising our daughters without the benefit of an OLP experience. Our opinion of OLP is further validated by our eldest daughter (Class of 2016), who quickly found her university classes comfortable because OLP prepared her for the future.
