St Francis wonderfully prepares students and gives them a great education while emphasizing a need for balancing extracurriculars and real life. It gives plenty of opportunities, and while it can be grueling it prepares students for the future ahead of them while giving them a foundation and a family community to support them in that future.

Our over all experience at Saint Francis has been very positive. My children attended high school at Saint Francis and truly loved the school . They were completely ready for college academically and socially. The teachers go over and above to give the students the tools to be successful. They truly care about each student. Saint Francis makes you feel at home the minute you enter their campus.

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...
