Strengthening Our Mission - Our Priorities

Capital Improvements

Gifts to our Capital Improvements Fund allow St. Francis High School to take advantage of strategic opportunities to enhance our campus and learning environment through new or remodeled facilities. 

Golden Knights Athletic Endowment

This endowment will ensure the tradition of athletic excellence where important life skills are taught and personal character is emphasized will continue for future generations.

Facilities Endowment

Maintaining state-of-the-art facilities requires regular and proper maintenance. This endowment fund supports annual investments in existing facilities to ensure a safe and contemporary learning environment for our Golden Knights.

Faculty Professional Development Endowment

Recognizing that education is a continuous, ongoing endeavor, St. Francis High School dedicates a percentage of its annual budget to faculty and staff professional development. Faculty and staff are encouraged to earn advanced academic degrees, maintain professional credentials and participate in training and conferences. 

Faculty Salary Endowment

Retaining a highly qualified faculty and staff requires competitive salaries and benefits packages. This endowment helps attract and retain our human resources as well as offset our greatest annual operating expense.

Financial Aid Support

St. Francis High School is committed to a diverse socio-economic student population. Over the last several years, with the support of our Board of Directors, financial aid offerings, to those who demonstrate financial need, has increased to 30% of our current families.

Program Support

There are many facets to a college preparatory education. St. Francis High School offers a rigorous academic program that is complimented by Athletic, Counseling, Franciscan Spirit and Life, Visual and Performing Arts programs.

Scholarship Endowment

Merit and need-based scholarships ensure St. Francis High School has a talented and diverse socio-economic student population. Endowment funds ensure these critical funds will last in perpetuity.

Unrestricted

Gifts that are not designated to a specific purpose allow St. Francis High School to identify and support the greatest need at a particular time.

Visual and Performing Arts Endowment

Having an appreciation for the arts has long been a goal of a college preparatory education.  For over twenty years, St. Francis has deliberately dedicated resources to the arts so that it can offer its students exceptional opportunities in theater, in student-run television and many other programs. Support of the Visual and Performing Arts Endowment builds on these investments that have fostered a life-long appreciation for the arts as well as careers in arts-related fields.
