Mission Statement
Bishop García Diego High School is an independent Catholic co-educational secondary school that welcomes students of all faiths and provides them with the spiritual, personal, and intellectual knowledge to meet the enduring challenge of realizing their God-given potential in a multi-cultural society.
History
We trace the earliest roots of our school and every Catholic school in California to the educational system founded by Saint Junipero Serra, the tireless Apostle of California. Bishop Diego High School combines the rich heritage of our predecessor schools.
Athletics
Through Bishop's three Core Values (Respect, Perseverance and Compassion), we aim to develop the entire individual, not simply the athlete. It is our goal to ensure that these Core Values create a solid foundation for Bishop Diego graduates to build upon following their time with us.
