St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Elementary School is a community created by a loving God, each person unique in identity, and connected to one another through our faith in Jesus Christ. We strive to maintain a safe, happy, and nurturing environment in which children and adults may develop their full potential: spiritually, academically, physically and socially. Our school environment exemplifies a living Catholic faith visible in its structure, felt in its atmosphere, and witnessed in the way that we love one another, and serve the world.
