Athletic News – 5/06/22
As the school year winds down, several spring Troubies are doing their best to rewrite the school record books in their respective sports. Lacrosse midfielder, Zahra Smith, wrapped up her career in this week’s North Coast Section playoff battle with Marin Catholic, setting a program benchmark of 58 goals. Small wonder that she’s moving on to play collegiate ball at Delaware State next year. Senior pitcher, Hope Jenkins, struck out her 200th opponent this week against Franklin, making her the first player in the MaxPreps-recorded era of St. Francis to hit that milestone.
Reminder from the Business Office
All tuition accounts must be current before the start of final exams on May 12th for your daughter to take her exams. For Seniors, Caps and Gowns will not be given out until their tuition account is current.
