History
Our Mother of Good Counsel School was established to provide a strong elementary school program to families in the Los Feliz area. Beginning with 36 students in two small cottages on Ambrose Street, OMGC grew and another house was purchased on Dracena Drive to accommodate the 7th and 8 th grade. Work on the present school building began in 1949. From its beginning until 1968 the school was staffed by the Sisters of Immaculate Heart. It is presently served by dedicated lay teachers and staff. A Catholic, co-educational program within the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, our school enrolls students in Transitional Kindergarten through 8 th grade. Our school is a parish school closely affiliated with Our Mother of Good Counsel Parish.
Specialties
Our Mother of Good Counsel School promotes the growth of faith in Christ, academic excellence and responsible citizenship. As a small community, together with parents, faculty and staff, it is our goal to develop these values in each student. We are a uniquely diverse school with children from various cultural backgrounds. Cultural differences are celebrated and welcomed. Our students are well-prepared for high school, easily transitioning to Catholic High Schools, such as Loyola, St. Francis, Immaculate Heart, and Providence, and the new academic, social and spiritual opportunities before them.
