At St. Francis, It is all about the brotherhood and community. Every student there is part of it and we work together to make it special. Along with this we also have a great academic program, not only for standard college prep students, but also those who wanted to be challenged in honors and AP classes. Our athletics program is also very good. With many great coaches and students, you can excell in any sport you want.
