Welcome Parents,
We are a Catholic community gifted with faith at Saint Francis High
School. We serve over 1,600 students, 3,000 parents, 150 faculty, support
staff, alumni and community groups. We encourage you to get involved, share your
ideas and become immersed in the Saint Francis culture and spirit in order to
provide an unparalleled high school experience for our students. GO BROWNS!
If you are interested in a great high school volunteer opportunity, with low
time commitment (only five council meetings) and a chance to learn more about
Saint Francis, please contact Claude Chretien for more information at
stfrancis@schoolcouncil.cssd.ab.ca or mcchretien@shaw.ca or cell phone number 403-465-1263.
Our first meeting “High School 101 for Parents”, you will learn the ins
and outs of high school life including homework vs. school work, advocacy,
navigating the D2L, parent involvement, anxiety and substance abuse.
Please ensure a valid email address is entered on your child’s
demographic form which will be sent home in September to ensure you stay up to
date with Saint Francis news and information.
Please mark these dates on your calendar and check our website for
