Becoming Beacons of Hope through the Lens of Awareness

We are off and running this 2024-2025 school year. As the Engagement and Inclusion (E&I) Specialist, I look forward to guiding our community on Becoming Beacons of Hope through the lens of awareness.  What does this mean? This school year we will be exploring cultural celebrations, histories and traditions, as well as additional topics such as neurodiversity, and intersectionality. Why these topics? As the Pope has called us to “be tangible signs of hope for brothers and sisters who are experiencing hardship” we must teach our students the skills to engage and include the many different types of individuals they will encounter as they venture off into the world. They can practice these skills in the safety of our St. Francis community.

The St. Francis Racial Reconciliation Plan

The St. Francis Racial Reconciliation Plan is a comprehensive course of action, created in consultation with our families, students, diocese and outside experts, that confronts racism in our school community and touches every corner of campus.  

Its primary focus is to celebrate the diversity within our community; build the skills of our staff and faculty so the benefits of the community are experienced equitably; and to ultimately ensure that all of our students and families feel a sense of belonging and inclusion.
