It was built and founded by the
Religious of the Sacred Heart as Sacred Heart Academy in
Menlo Park, California, in 1898. The school became College of the Sacred Heart in 1921. In the 1930s, it moved to
San Francisco, California, and became San Francisco College for Women.[2] It was located near the
Lone Mountain Cemetery, which was in the process of removal. The school then changed its name again to Lone Mountain College, in 1969, at which time the College began admitting men and became co-educational. [3]
