Meet Our Team

Welcome to Our Lady of Peace School—a place where faith, learning, and community come alive, creating a haven where every child is known, loved, and inspired to shine.

We invite you to step onto our campus and feel the warmth that greets you the moment you arrive. Walk through our classrooms, meet our students and teachers, and experience the joyful spirit that makes OLP so extraordinary. For over 50 years, we’ve been a cherished part of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, and while we honor our rich history, we’re also embracing the future with hope, creativity, and faith. Since COVID, we’ve been RE-IMAGINING our school program and RECONNECTING with our community and beyond—crafting a nurturing, inclusive, and forward-thinking environment where every child can grow into their best selves. At the heart of our mission is a profound commitment to literacy. We believe every child deserves the tools to succeed—to read, write, speak, and listen with confidence and joy. Our approach sparks a lifelong love of learning, challenges students to dream boldly, and nurtures curiosity, creativity, and resilience.

Grounded in our Catholic faith, we guide students to live with kindness, compassion, and purpose, shaping not just bright minds, but compassionate hearts ready to make a difference in the world. Our community is a vibrant tapestry of cultures, backgrounds, and stories. Students of Hispanic, Asian, African American, Caucasian, and other heritages learn and grow together, creating a space where everyone is celebrated, respected, and valued. Though small in size, our school is boundless in love and determination. Our dedicated teachers pour their hearts into every child, helping them discover and develop their unique, God-given gifts in a nurturing, family-like atmosphere. But don’t just take our word for it—come and see for yourself. Talk to our parents, staff, and students, and let their stories show you the heart of OLP. This is more than a school; it’s a thriving, close-knit family, and we would be honored to walk alongside you in shaping your child’s future. We can’t wait to welcome you with open arms and open hearts. Come and see why OLP is such a special place to grow, learn, and belong.

Warm Regards and Blessings,

J. Testacross, Principal
