As a junior at St. Francis, I've enjoyed all of my time here so far. I've made many good friends here and have been involved in many different clubs or activities. The clubs and events I've been involved in have helped me grow in many different ways as a leader, as a person, and as a friend. I would recommend to anyone thinking about St. Francis for their child to set up a shadow day or attend one of the events for incoming/ prospective students or families.

They spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to build a football stadium that constantly floods, for a football team that isn't that great. But they can't find money to get air conditioning for the school, something that every student would benefit from installing. Or they could use the money to buil...
