Ways to Give to SFHS

Fundraising is a vital part our culture.  We are committed to continuing the St. Francis traditions of faith, leadership, excellence and service.

Through gifts of time, talent, and treasure, the philanthropy of our community supports outstanding programs and facilities, and provides tuition assistance to more than 24 percent of our families.

Safety Scam Targeting SFHS Accounts

We received a report that recently a SFHS student was targeted for money on her Instagram account.  It was a very well done scam, and clearly preyed upon our students’ trust. This scam was perfectly targeted — trusting, helpful students and the illusion of the person being known by trusted people. The student didn’t flinch at giving them access to her picture (“…because they were ‘friends’ with people I knew,” and “because I thought I was helping them out.”) While your student might say this wouldn’t happen to me, believe me it could and it does.

Senior Painted Parking Spaces

One of our favorite traditions is Seniors Painted parking spaces to benefit our scholarship programs. Students may personalize their parking spot by creating a design that reflects their interests and/or shows school spirit. Designs must be pre-approved by the Administration prior to painting and cannot violate the tenants of the St. Francis Catholic High School. All template designs must be turned in no later than July 10th (absolutely no late templates will be accepted). Cost is $300 for the reserved painted space.
