Mission and Values

OUR MISSION

The mission of Franciscan High School is to prepare young people for lives of faith, purpose, and service.

Committed to the Franciscan ideal to serve those in need, our students are provided a college preparatory curriculum that integrates rigorous content with meaningful work experience and faith formation.

Inspired by the Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady to be living witnesses to the Gospel message, we are committed to the teachings of the Catholic Church and the fulfillment of each student’s God given potential.

OUR VISION

Franciscan High School graduates are academically, spiritually, and emotionally prepared to face their challenging college courses with confidence and determination to succeed. They have the skills to be self-sufficient and responsible in college and beyond, unbound by external limitations. They know they are loved by their Franciscan High School family and have faith that God has a purpose for their lives. They treat others with respect and have well-formed consciences to help them act with integrity. They are rooted in the Franciscan High School community but are ready to stretch their wings and persevere through college and the next journeys in life. They are eager to succeed in school and career so that they can make a positive contribution in service back to their communities.
