We look forward enthusiastically this year to celebrate 80 years of St. Francis School, which opened in 1936 where present-day McMenimans is located. The new school was built in the year 2000, along with the Parish Offices and the Community Center.

The primary identity of our school is to instill in the students a Catholic education, which helps them to develop into mature young people as they venture into future education, with the hopes that the moral values they inherited will be passed on to other students, mainly by their example and
their commitment to their faith. St. Francis Roman Catholic School is a S.T.R.E.A.M school that combines academic rigor and religious instruction:
Science - Technology - Religion - Engineering - Arts - Math.

We offer a Christian vision of the world, of life, and of history, providing synthesis between culture and faith; the harmony of reason, science, and
faith; a mission of love and service. Our teachers are certified, competent educators who model Christ’s teachings, respect for others, and a virtuous life— defined as moral excellence and integrity. Our student/teacher ratios allow time for individual emotional, spiritual, social, and academic encouragement for all students.

St. Francis offers a comprehensive curriculum with rigorous academic expectations. Our graduates leave prepared to enter high school, and nearly 100% qualify for honors courses and advanced placement programs and go on to attend college. I remember meeting a local High School teacher who told me that she can tell the students coming from St Francis as freshmen by their respect, above-average intelligence, and all-around behavior. — Fr.
