Scholarship Fund in Honor of Marion Bishop

Post

After 11 years of loving service to St. Francis High School, Marion Bishop completed her term as the school’s first President on June 30, 2012. We are deeply grateful to Marion for her dedicated commitment to the school community as St. Francis High School’s first President.

During her tenure at St. Francis High School, Marion took the school from an enrollment of eight hundred students to over eleven hundred. She oversaw the campus expansion and construction of beautiful new facilities, implementation of the Kairos retreat program, and a photovoltaic installation on the campus. As a result of her professionalism, integrity, passion and prayerfulness, she left the school in a strong position and her impact will be felt for many years to come.

Assisting families with tuition was a mission dear to Marion’s heart. Marion served the Diocese of Sacramento for over eighteen years, much of that time dedicated to assisting families in providing a Catholic education for their children. This includes the creation of the Succeed School program, which continues to help families realize their dreams of a Catholic school education. Marion also expanded the tuition assistance program at St. Francis which, although it has grown to award over $1 million in aid each year, still provides for only half of the established need.

To honor Marion St. Francis High School establish a scholarship fund in her name. The Marion Bishop Scholarship Fund will help with tuition expenses for qualified families in need at St. Francis High School.
