St. Francis is hosting the Diocesan Academic Decathlon on our campus on Saturday, March 2, 2024.

Last year, students from St. Ignatius (Sacramento), Holy Spirit (Sacramento), Notre Dame (Vacaville), Our Lady of the Assumption (Carmichael), St. Catherine of Siena (Vallejo), St. Elizabeth Ann Seton (Elk Grove), St. John Vianney (Rancho Cordova), and St. Mary (Sacramento) represented our diocese and competed in the National Academic Junior High Decathlon for Catholic schools.
