Background

Bishop García Diego High School was established in 1959.[2] The school is named for Bishop Francisco García Diego y Moreno[3][4] who was the first bishop of the Diocese of the Two Californias.

In 1914, Dolores School opened a Catholic high school program for girls in downtown Santa Barbara. The school transitioned to the name Notre Dame High School in the early 1920s and became The Santa Barbara Catholic High School, a co-educational secondary school in 1940. In 1959, the Archdiocese of Los Angeles assumed sponsorship of the school, moving it to our present campus and taking California's first bishop, Bishop Francisco García Diego y Moreno, as its patron. In 2005, Bishop Diego High School became an independent Catholic high school.

through the years, the school's instruction and leadership has varied from the Jesuit Fathers, the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, the Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Franciscan Community, and the Josephite Fathers.[5]
