 Fr.Matt Elshoff chatting between classes with some students. The Franciscan tradition is expressed in the ministry of St. Francis High School in regards to the family, to the Church, and to society. Our Franciscan charism includes promoting harmony, unity, and love in every special structure, the most fundamental of which is the family. The family spirit is extended from each individual family to encompass the entire school family, that is, administration, faculty, staff, students and alumni.
