OUR STORY
St. Francis High School - Salesian College Preparatory has been the top private Catholic high school on the central coast for over 20 years. St. Francis provides students with the foundations of lifelong learning: logical and creative thinking skills, promoting awareness of social justice and peace, and cultivating a deep appreciation and respect for others. Our vision is to ensure every student is prepared to attend a university and possesses the values of a good Christian and an honest global citizen.
THE PROJECT- WHERE ARE WE NOW?
ATHLETIC EXCELLENCE FACILITY | $2.6 million
ATHLETIC EXCELLENCE FACILITY | $2.6 million
Phase 1 of the VISION Capital Campaign is underway, and construction for the Athletic Excellence Facility was completed in late spring, 2022. This facility consists of a newly turfed stadium with a natural cork infill that is used for football, soccer, and women’s lacrosse. It is also used for graduation, assemblies, guest speakers, and all-school liturgies. This $2.6M project is 85% funded, and the $2.2 million raised to date have been contributed by over 115 members of
the St. Francis community. We celebrate the $164,000 that has been raised in the last 3 months, making a noteworthy dent in the funds needed to complete this project. We have stepped out in faith, but we need a final push to the end zone to secure the remaining $400,000.
