Catholic Schools
The theme of National Catholic Schools Week 2026 is "Unity in Faith and Community." We observe the annual celebration week with a School Mass, an Open House, a day of thanking our military personnel and volunteers, multicultural recognition, service projects, a movie day, a career day, and Grandparents Day. Through these events, schools focus on the value of Catholic education for young people and its contributions to our Church, our communities, and our nation.
Why should you choose a Catholic School for your child or grandchild? A Catholic education is a one-of-a-kind learning experience because it focuses on more than just academics. We believe nurturing the entire person's mind, body, and spirit is necessary for a happy, healthy, and balanced life. Catholic Schools provide children the invaluable opportunity to expand their knowledge, explore their passions, create community, strengthen their sense of self, and come to know God all in one place. The ultimate goal of a Catholic School is to lead all students to heaven. Several studies show that teacher commitment, student engagement, and achievement are higher in Catholic Schools because we operate as communities rather than bureaucracies.
Thank you for choosing St. Francis School for your child or grandchild. I am grateful for your support and partnership as we prepare children for faith and salvation, strive for academic excellence, and help develop loving, productive citizens who care for the well-being of their communities.
Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam,
Elizabeth Joseph, Principal
