St. Francis Catholic High School is a private, all-female, college-preparatory high school located in Sacramento, California. It is affiliated with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Sacramento and is one of four Catholic high schools in the area. The school serves students from over fifty private and public feeder schools across the California counties of Sacramento, Yolo, El Dorado, and Placer. Established in 1940, St. Francis is committed to providing a strong academic foundation rooted in Catholic values.
During the 2003–2004 school year, St. Francis completed the first phase of its campus renovation and expansion that doubled the size of its facilities. These new buildings include The Fine and Performing Arts Complex, Library/Resource Center, Gymnasium/Fitness Complex, four science labs, the Administration Building, and the Carlsen and Demetre Center for Campus Life (CLC).
St. Francis started in the fall of 1940 with 12 female students from nearby St Francis Elementary. The school was run by the St. Francis Sisters of Penance and Christian Charity.
In 1975 the Sisters of Notre Dame and the Franciscan Sisters were no longer able to staff the school, and Bishop Alden J. Bell appointed the Sisters of the Apostles of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, who served until 1999. [4]
