GRADES 9-12
Academic accomplishments are just one of the ways in which a St. Francis graduate stands out. Strong standardized test scores lead to greater acceptance rates at leading colleges and universities. Students’ participation in extracurricular activities – athletics, arts and technology – fosters important life skills beyond the classroom.
