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.

Message from the Dean
Seniors' Last Day

While Friday 5/5/23 is the last day of classes for many of you, it is still a regular day for all the other students to prepare for their finals.  Please be respectful of the students and teachers who still have to finish the school year strong and stay out of the hallways/classrooms when classes are in session. 

In addition please do not bring these items to campus:

  • Any type of weapon (swords, lightsabers, Nerf/Water guns, water balloons) etc…
  • No wheeled items (bikes, scooters, roller/inline skates) etc…
  • No barbecues, fire pits or other forms of fire type items…

We have had injuries in past years and we really want you all to have a safe last day of school.   We look forward to celebrating all of you at graduation.

Senior Final Exams

Seniors who are not waived from finals due attendance/discipline eligibility will be notified April 28. As you can imagine with over 250 seniors and a constant fluctuation in daily absences it is impossible to respond to all the attendance record requests. We do look at each student individually and understand illnesses, COVID, doctors notes, personal or mental health crises etc… Seniors can check their attendance in Power school (seniors have been sent additional email information). We do try to be as generous as possible.
