Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy, the all-girls high school in La Cañada Flintridge founded by the Dominican Sisters of Mission San Jose, announced two major estate gifts from two former alumni this month.

On Jan. 15, the school announced a $1.6 million gift from the estate of Patricia Jean Traviss, who graduated in 1949. That was followed by Flintridge Sacred Heart reporting a $5 million gift from the estate of Janet Hart Mitchell, Class of 1948, on Jan. 21.

After graduating from Flintridge Sacred Heart, Traviss earned a degree in event planning from Pasadena City College and studied interior design at Woodbury University in Burbank. Later, she became the director of Rockhaven Sanitarium in Glendale, taking it over from her grandmother.
