St. Stephen School has a rich and wonderful history, spanning more than fifty years.
In the early 1950's, the Catholic presence in the Hollywood area resembled very little of the Church, as we know it today.
Teachers, staff and the Administration strive to instill a sense of self-worth and belonging, among students, by stressing their gifts and talents.
The students are taught to respect the uniqueness of each individual and to care for all of God's creations.
We, at St. Stephan's feel we have given an education in basic values and a rising scale of loyalties that will last through a life time.
Our students have been taught the basics and more, in their Faith, never forgetting that God is always with them.
We have taught our students to hold on to their values, despite all temptations and be law-abiding citizens.
If St. Stephen School has helped to develop all these things, then we shall indeed be worthy of those students who passed through our hands.
