Dear St. Francis Families,

As the mother of three young St. Francis alumnae (Classes of 2018, 2020, and 2021), I am sometimes asked why I continue as Director of Admissions at St. Francis since my daughters have all graduated. The wonderful St. Francis community and my amazing colleagues are a big reason why. However, I am compelled to support the St. Francis mission because I have seen first hand the transformative power of an all-girls education, and I want to make that opportunity available to every young woman who seeks it. Introducing prospective students and families to our amazingly special community is a privilege and a great joy. I am asking you to help spread that joy as we head into recruitment season. Our annual Open House is Sunday, October 13th from 12:00-3:00pm. If you know girls in 5th-8th grade, we would be so grateful if you personally invited them to attend Open House. Your enthusiasm about your daughter’s St. Francis experience is our greatest recruiting tool. More than 85% of applicants for admission say that they heard about St. Francis through friends, neighbors, and colleagues.

Thank you for helping us invite prospective new Troubies and their families to campus. And thank you to the dozens of Open House volunteers who will be wearing an “Ask Me – Proud St. Francis Parent” button and welcoming our guests.

In gratitude,

Lisa Wilkins
Director of Admissions
