Bishop Alemany High School

Bishop Alemany High School (11111 N. Alemany Drive, Mission Hills) is a private, coeducational Catholic secondary school serving grades 9-12 within the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. It was founded in 1947 as St. Ferdinand High School and renamed Bishop Alemany in 1956, after Joseph Sadoc Alemany, the first Archbishop of San Francisco. After the 1994 Northridge earthquake the school relocated to its current campus near the historic San Fernando Mission. As a private school it has no public attendance boundary - families enroll from across the region, which keeps steady demand for nearby homes.

Buying “near Bishop Alemany” is about commute and community, not an attendance zone. If your goal is a public-school boundary instead, use the LAUSD School Finder for the exact resident school by address.
