Together with the family, we strive to educate the whole child, academically, spiritually, physically, and morally, in a nurturing environment. Our students and their families are part of a larger faith community with a rich cultural identity. As an integral part of a Jesuit parish, our goal is to empower our children to rise out of poverty by becoming educated leaders in their community, “women and men for and with others.” About Us: Dolores Mission Parish is a Roman Catholic Parish of the Los Angeles Archdiocese staffed by Jesuit priests for over 40 years. The parish cares for the spiritual, social, and material needs of its parishioners who come primarily from the immediate neighborhood, the poorest area of Boyle Heights. It has become known for its prophetic work among former gang members and is the birthplace of Homeboy Industries founded by Father Greg Boyle, S.J.. It continues to be known for its work for social justice on local, national, and global issues. Dolores Mission School opened in 1950 and continues to serve the families who live in the local housing projects and the surrounding areas. Dolores Mission Church and School stand as strong pillars in the community and walk alongside the most vulnerable members of our community. In the last ten years, Dolores Mission School has become an example of a stellar inner-city school. As a Jesuit school in the Ignatian educational tradition students are taught to recognize how God is present in all things, all people, and in themselves. The academic programs of the school continue to expand and improve to serve the neediest children in our community. As a result, more students are attending college after high school. The impact of the school is creating systemic change in a community that has historically been disenfranchised. Dolores Mission School consists of grades TK-8th and serves 195 children and 175 families. Our student population is 98% Latino and 1% African-American. More than 80% of the transitional kindergarten class is challenged with academic English vocabulary and primarily speak Spanish at home. Nearly 75% of families earn yearly incomes below $24K and 90% of students qualify for free or reduced breakfast and lunch. At the heart of every outstanding school is a strong academic curriculum. Dolores Mission School is proud of its excellent core curriculum of Social Studies, Math, Science, and Language Arts and is rounded out with rich art, music, dance, technology, gardening, and physical education programs. Strong leadership, amazing teachers, parents, friends, and community involvement help make Dolores Mission School a wonderful place where learning happens and students excel. Strong development efforts, a supportive school board, a network of Jesuit partners, and a caring community have helped to make Dolores Mission School a model of success.

Any mandated reporter in California who fails to report an instance of child abuse or neglect that he or she knows of or has reasonable suspicions about is guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment in the county jail, by a fine, or by both. This failure to report may subject the person to disciplinary action as an employee and may result in the loss of teaching or other professional credentials. California law and archdiocesan policies and procedures require all statutory mandated reporters to report abuse or neglect of minors in any situation in which a minor might currently be at risk of abuse or neglect, or in which there is the possibility of prosecution, no matter how remote. Archdiocesan policy also requires that those persons also make non-mandatory reports to the archdiocese where the victim is no longer a minor and regardless of where or when the abuse might have happened, if the alleged abuse involves past abuse by clergy, staff, or volunteers. The archdiocese includes vulnerable adults as possible victims about whom a report is to be made on the same basis as a possible minor victim.
