St. Francis High School

Our coeducational college preparatory school is rooted in the Catholic values of the Holy Cross tradition. We are dedicated to educating the whole person to ensure success in college and beyond. Our core curriculum, coupled with diverse offerings in science, humanities, arts, physical education, and technology, provides a solid foundation for students to understand the challenges within our world today. Our graduates become responsible citizens who are rooted in faith and successful in all of their pursuits.

Saint Francis High School provides the finest college preparatory education and fosters growth in all aspects of our students’ lives. Our graduates are spiritually aware, intellectually strong and socially confident young men and women who are prepared to excel in college and in life.

Our students become Holy Cross men and women who are uniquely prepared for college, service and leadership. Holy Cross men and women are people of integrity who discover their God-given talents, respect the dignity of every person, celebrate family and bring hope to others.

In the tradition of the Catholic Church and the spirit of Holy Cross, Saint Francis High School is committed to providing the finest college-preparatory program in an inclusive family environment, encouraging students to achieve their highest potential through:

• Spiritual development, which expresses their Christian values in the convictions of their heart and the actions of their hands;
• Intellectual development, which translates their knowledge and skills into independent and creative thinking;
• Social development, which transforms their activities and experiences into leadership in and service to the community.

At Saint Francis, we believe a well-developed curriculum that is diverse in its offerings will spark students’ imaginations and prepare them for their future. Our curriculum provides a solid foundation in traditional science and humanities courses and offers several forward-thinking classes that give students the ability to stretch their knowledge in the arts, languages, technology and religious studies and act as compassionate stewards of society.

Educating balanced and well-rounded students is the cornerstone of our philosophy. Like Blessed Basil Moreau, who believed it was his mission to educate students to be prepared spiritually, intellectually and socially, we at Saint Francis have made it our mission to uphold this idea. We encourage all our students to have active extracurricular experiences. We know educating young men and women in the Holy Cross tradition gives them added confidence, lasting friendships and the best opportunities to reach their potential.

When we learn to communicate with each other, we understand one another better. The co-ed learning environment at Saint Francis gives our students a real-world advantage. It is a safe, supportive community where they learn to work together and respect each other.
