Career Day 2020

 

Without a doubt, St. Francis cultivates successful, impactful and capable alumnae – women who are changing their world.  

Alumnae, would like to invite you to participate in the 2020 St. Francis Career Day to be held on Friday, March 13, 2020. This experience allows our alumnae to share their professional experiences with our current students. It’s an excellent opportunity to share your talents, spend time on campus and have lunch in the new dining hall (new to those of you who graduated before 2014)! 

We’ve had a great response from our alumnae so far! When we surveyed our students to see some of the careers they would be interested in, we realized we could use some more alumnae in these careers:

  • Law enforcement
  • Psychology
  • Fashion 
  • Military
  • Architecture
  • Aviation
  • Real Estate

Students will have an opportunity to sign up for two career sessions hosted by alumnae that morning (event time will be 9:00 am – 12:00 pm with lunch provided after). If you would like to participate, please complete the following interest form HERE

Alert to SFHS Families

It has been reported by St. Mary School that some suspicious men have been seen in cars parked or driving along M Street, watching St. Francis girls walk to St. Mary’s.  If your daughter is one who may be walking along M Street to meet with you or a sibling at St. Mary’s, we want to make you aware of this happening.

The Police Department has been notified and both schools are working together to do what we can to make this area safer for your daughters. For the time being, we are recommending the girls wait for another student/s to walk down together to St. Mary’s or remain at St. Francis until they can be picked up by a parent.  Please remind your daughter/s not to walk alone and to be aware of her surroundings.
