Giving to St. Francis

Make a Difference Today

Not what we say about our blessings but how we use them is the true measure of our thanksgiving." 
- T. Purkiser


The Prayer of St. Francis calls forth virtues that serve as a blueprint for life. St. Francis High School highlights sixteen of these virtues and integrates a Franciscan virtue each academic quarter into its daily curriculum and co-curricular activities. These virtues strengthen our college preparatory program, foster and nurture character development and spirituality and encourage our young Golden Knights to uncover and share their God given gifts to make a difference in our communities both near and far.

Since 1946, we have remained true to our mission to enrich the mind and heart. Our mission is strong because we have been blessed with alumni, students, parents, and friends who lend their support, both prayerful and financial, to make an impact in both the immediate needs as well as the long-term goals. We are most grateful for this support and remain committed to developing generations of Golden Knights that are mindful of the wisdom of Francis
