St. Francis Central Catholic School is fortunate to have some of the brightest and most gifted students there can possibly be. The history of student accomplishments at St. Francis is not only recognized during their career here, but become even more evident as they continue to advance in high school, college, and beyond.We are proud of the wide range of accomplishments that our students have achieved.
The programs at our school are comprehensive and co-curricular in scope, meaning they can be directly traced back to our purpose of spiritual and academic formation. Even in our non-academic programs, such as Athletics or P.E.A.C.E Club, the standard of hard work and discipleship takes precedence.
Because we stress the importance of humility and service, achievements seem to follow that. Thank you students of St. Francis for being shining stars that make our school stand out among the best.
