SCHOOL PHILOSOPHY

The faculty, staff, and parents of St. Francis Central School are committed to serving the Church by teaching Christian values while maintaining an academic program of excellence. Together with the educational policies of the Diocese of Stebenville and communication with parents, we are committed to developing a FAITH COMMUNITY of SERVICE to the Church, each other, and the total community corresponding with the GOSPEL values as Jesus taught. Christ is the reason for our existence. It is our purpose to impart Christian values, self-discipline, respect for self and others in school, in the larger community and to teach all subjects around a core of Catholic beliefs to prepare students as Christian leaders.

It's a Parent's Choice
