Athletic News – 5/06/22
As the school year winds down, several spring Troubies are doing their best to rewrite the school record books in their respective sports. Lacrosse midfielder, Zahra Smith, wrapped up her career in this week’s North Coast Section playoff battle with Marin Catholic, setting a program benchmark of 58 goals. Small wonder that she’s moving on to play collegiate ball at Delaware State next year. Senior pitcher, Hope Jenkins, struck out her 200th opponent this week against Franklin, making her the first player in the MaxPreps-recorded era of St. Francis to hit that milestone.
Upcoming Senior Events
We are so excited for the upcoming events to celebrate with our Senior class! Please take a look at the details for the events in the attached document. Continue looking at your emails during this time, as well as the Baccalaureate and Graduation page on the website.

Some colleges (CSU’s) might have requested/required a 7th semester transcript to be submitted, and t
