The school is located at 2900 West Pico Blvd., Los Angeles, California.
The Holy House of Loreto is located in the town of Loreto, Italy. It houses the black Madonna and Child. Its color comes from the Lebanon cedar tree. Locally the Madonna is of Caucasian persuasion.

The yearbook features Loretto's History, Alumnae and present year of the 1974 school year.
