Francis High School was founded in 1955 in the Holy Cross
tradition of educating the hearts and minds of young
people to serve the world. The educational heritage of
the Brothers of Holy Cross began in France and was
established in the United States with the founding of the
University of Notre Dame in 1844. Reverend Basil Moreau,
founder of Holy Cross, emphasized the necessity of
educating young people to be not only scholars but also
active citizens who live out their Christian values.
At
Saint Francis High School, this rich heritage of
education and service continues as the school strives to
develop the well-rounded individual- a person who grows
spiritually, intellectually and socially. The spiritual
development of each student is the focus of Holy Cross,
as students are challenged to live up to the ideals of
our Catholic faith through religious studies classes,
sacramental opportunites, and Christian Service programs.
While this spiritual development is the foundation of the
school's mission, a traditional yet rigorous and
innovative colleg prepatory curriculum, which includes
Advanced Placement and Honors courses, is the core of the
Holy Cross tradition of academic excellence. The third
component of the Holy Cross vision of educating the whole
person, social development, encourages students to become
actively involved in the diverse extra-curricular
programs, whether it be playing on a team or
participating in clubs.
Father
Moreau believed in a philosophy of education which
encompassed more than academics. Spiritual and social
growth were essential to the development of young men and
women. Over a century later, we believe these principles
to be more important than ever before.
