They didn’t know our founders, the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet. Back in 1925, nothing — not even the steep climb up the rattlesnake-riddled wilds of the Santa Monica Mountains — could stop them.

Ninety years later, our students, faculty and staff remain as unstoppable as our founding sisters. We're still fearless. Still dedicated. Still reaching higher. Mount Saint Mary's graduates know they that they can change the world. They know that they are {UNSTOPPABLE}.
