Seven more Troubies announce college athletics commitments
As the excitement of graduation looms, so does the participation in collegiate sports for so many of our Troubies. We had 11 student athletes commit to their sport and college in the fall. Recently, seven more announced their intent during the spring National Letter of Intent and College Commitment celebration. All the details can be found HERE.
St. Francis Stories: Emily Bradley
The gifts each St. Francis student possess are vast and can often go unrecognized, not for lack of caring or interest, but simply because there’s so much our students do outside of school time and walls. For example, participating in women’s youth bobsledding probably isn’t something one would equate with Sacramento or St. Francis. But sophomore Emily Bradley is doing just that! She recently returned from Austria and is now ranked #2 in the world! She appeared on Good Day Sacramento and is this week’s St. Francis Stories feature.
