History
The school was founded by the Sisters of Saint Louis, an order established in France during the 19th century by Abbé Louis Eugène Marie Bautain, though most of the current Sisters hail from Ireland. The convent of the Sisters of St. Louis lies on a hill overlooking the school. The school and convent are built on what was once the Manzanita Ranch, the former estate of Oscar-nominated actress Marjorie Rambeau. Manzanita refers to a small evergreen shrub that grows on the hills surrounding Louisville. Under the leadership of Sister Mary Ronan, Manzanita Ranch was purchased for renovation and construction. The first class of 9th grade students entered in September of 1960.Louisville pairs with the all-boys' college preparatory school Crespi Carmelite High School in Encino.
