Ways to Give to SFHS

Fundraising is a vital part our culture. We are committed to continuing the St. Francis traditions of faith, leadership, excellence and service.

While tuition covers roughly 85 percent of the operating budget of the school, additional resources are necessary to carry a St. Francis education forward. Through gifts of time, talent, and treasure, the philanthropy of our community supports outstanding programs and facilities, and provides tuition assistance to more than 24 percent of our families.

History of St. Francis High School

Overview September 10, 2013

Sisters with students in front of St. Francis High School in 1965

St. Francis High School was founded in 1940 with a class of twelve young women on the top floor of St. Francis elementary school on K Street. The current campus opened in 1965 and underwent a major expansion in 2003-2004. Now, with an enrollment of over 1,000 and alumnae numbering over 11,000, St. Francis High School continues its legacy of spirit-filled community and educational excellence; of athletic merit and artistic accomplishment; of peace and goodness (Pax et Bonum).

At St. Francis, young women integrate their faith, knowledge, and experience of community to become effective Christian witnesses in our global society. This special mission makes St. Francis much more than an outstanding college preparatory school in the Sacramento region. St. Francis graduates understand that they can make a difference in today’s world – and make it!
