Cornelia Connelly High School

Cornelia Connelly School was a Catholic college-preparatory high school for girls in Anaheim, California. Established in 1961 by the Sisters of the Society of the Holy Child Jesus, it is named after Cornelia Connelly, founder of that Roman Catholic religious institute. Although located in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange, it is an independent school, one of ten Holy Child schools in the United States.[3] In October 2019, the Board of Trustees announced their vote to close the school at the end of the 2019–2020 school year due to diminishing enrollment, increased debt, and shortfalls in fundraising efforts.[4] There also are thirteen other Holy Child Schools in England, Ireland, France, Ghana, and Nigeria.

gollark: I don't think so. It would be far too subjective.
gollark: You can look at this site (http://www.projectrho.com/public_html/rocket/spacegunintro.php) for information on somewhat realistic space-weaponry as it applies to sci-fi, though it's kind of oddly organized.
gollark: You wouldn't actually see the beams, for one thing, as far as I know.
gollark: "Big laser weapons on spaceships" probably could exist, I guess. Though they probably wouldn't really look like that.
