Mission Statement

St. Francis High School is a Roman Catholic, Franciscan, college preparatory school that serves young men of diverse faiths and backgrounds from around the world.

Conducted by the Conventual Franciscan Friars, the entire school community works to develop the whole person through academic excellence, religious principles, and a wide variety of extracurricular activities.

Imbued with the spirit of St. Francis of Assisi, we prepare young men to use their knowledge for the good of society and to see God in all people, especially the poor, neglected and marginalized.

We envision a brotherhood of graduates who will live the Gospel of Jesus Christ and become leaders who are known by their faith, critical thinking, creativity, service to others, integrity, self-discipline, concern for the environment, and an openness to lifelong learning.
