History
La Reina High School is a private Catholic college preparatory junior and senior high school for girls sponsored by the Congregation of the Sisters of Notre Dame, founded in 1850 in Coesfeld, Germany. The Christian education of youth has always been the Congregation's principal apostolic activity.
La Reina was established in the fall of 1964. The school campus is situated on a 40-acre (160,000 m2) parcel of land. The three original buildings were completed between 1964-1967. James Francis Cardinal McIntyre dedicated La Reina on October 15, 1967. The multipurpose building, now consisting of an auditorium-gym, cafeteria, five classrooms, a mock trial room, a computer lab, and nine offices was built in 1986. This building completed the campus, increasing the maximum enrollment from 400 to approximately 620.
La Reina opened a junior high division in the fall of 1973. Junior high students begin a college preparatory curriculum and can take high school courses in foreign language and mathematics.
In 1984, the graduation requirements were revised to reflect the standards for admission to the University of California.
Among a variety of co-curricular activities available are the athletic and Mock Trial programs. Since 1990, the school's Mock Trial team has won the county competition twenty times, taking the California state championship in 2008, 2011, 2012, and 2013. Their winning streak, spanning from 2011 to 2013, makes La Reina the first team to win the California state championship for three consecutive years in a row. In 2011 and 2012, La Reina's Mock Trial team became the first repeat World Champions after winning the Empire Mock Trial Invitational Tournament in New York City, a highly selective tournament that invites primarily state and national champions from countries all over the world. In 2013, La Reina High School placed second in the nation at the National High School Mock Trial Competition held in Indianapolis, Indiana.
La Reina is fully accredited through 2016 by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges and by the Western Catholic Educational Association and holds membership in the National Catholic Education Association.
La Reina has a "sister school" relationship with Crespi Carmelite High School, an all-boys Catholic school in Encino, CA.
