Student Activities
Something for Everyone
SFHS encourages its students to reach out – to explore new horizons, to get involved in global concerns, and to help shape ideas and technologies of the future. Organizations and clubs are plentiful, providing something for everyone. Learn more about St. Francis Clubs here.
Co-curricular and extra-curricular activities allow students to develop leadership skills, pursue individual interests, and just have fun! Nearly all St. Francis students participate in some form of student activities. Student government plays an important role in shaping the school calendar and channeling the efforts of classes. The school year is rich in activities, ranging from dances and concerts to major traditions such as the St. Francis Day Celebration and Homecoming Week (unrivaled anywhere!).

Student Internship Program
A Commitment to the Future
Preparing students to enter the college of their choice is not the only commitment we make to their future; St. Francis also provides opportunities for career exploration and professional networking. In 2018, the second year of our new SFHS Summer Internship program, Troubadours had the opportunity to interview and be placed with businesses in the area of healthcare, government relations, construction management, research and database creation, and collections inventory and management.
Why do student internships matter?
Women are historically underrepresented in positions of power and influence. Currently, women comprise only 5.8% of CEOs and 20.2% of directors on the boards of Fortune 500 companies. Women hold just 19.4% of seats in Congress, and there are only 4 women governors in the country. The sooner we expose young women to professional opportunities in their fields of interest, the sooner they can begin to advance their career interests and professional trajectories. The barriers to workplace advancement start early.
What can we do as educators to expose our young women to professional opportunities and give them a jump start on workplace skill building? Helping students take their career aspirations and translate them into concrete plans for their futures is critical if we are to change women’s access to leadership positions in the workplace and society. Women remain underrepresented in boardrooms, elected offices, and executive suites (Marianne Cooper, Stanford University’s Clayman Institute for Gender Research). Despite earning half of college degrees, “women are not at the table and their voices are not heard,” in business and government. When speaking about boards, committees, and other decision-making entities, Cooper shares, “the more powerful something is, the fewer women will be there.”
