Important Message from the Principal – 12/08/21

As most of you know, our President, Theresa Rodgers, has been on a leave of absence for the past few months to grieve the passing of her father and to address some ongoing health concerns. 

I am sad to inform you that Theresa Rodgers will not be returning to St. Francis Catholic High School. She has made the difficult decision to resign her position as President of our school in order to focus on her family and health. 

Attached is a letter that Theresa wrote and asked it be shared with faculty/staff and external parent community.
