SCHOOL
2025-2026 PROFILE
OUR MISSION
St. Francis Catholic High School is a diocesan college preparatory school dedicated to serving young women and their families who seek a community of faith, excellence, leadership and service, grounded in the teachings of Jesus Christ. In the spirit and charism of Saints Francis and Clare of Assisi, we form students who share their gifts and talents as models of Pax et Bonum.
THE ST. FRANCIS DIFFERENCE
St. Francis Catholic High School is uniquely dedicated to empowering young women to excel in every field, combining tradition with innovation. Home to the world’s first all-female robotics program to win at the international level—and a team that continues to earn top honors year after year—St. Francis proves that when young women are given the tools, encouragement, and environment to lead, they rise to every challenge. Our top-ranking athletics program fosters resilience, leadership, and teamwork, while our vibrant arts, theater, and music programs cultivate creativity and confidence. St. Francis alumnae have gone on to shape culture and industry, contributing to Oscar-winning films, Broadway productions, award-winning journalism, and beyond—all while serving as leaders in their communities and in their careers. Choosing an all-girls education at St. Francis means choosing an environment where every opportunity is designed to lift young women higher—preparing them to succeed not only in high school but in college, career, and life.
