St. Francis de Sales HS is a school on the upswing. The work of Principal Roni Facen (an alum herself) has brought new life and energy to the building.  Recent improvements to the library, cafeteria, weight room, and Gymnasium building are just the start. Enrollment is increased by 30% this year--just a sign of the renaissance of the school.AP subjects include English Literature and Composition, English Language and Composition, US History, and Biology. Honors courses are offered in most subject areas. Class sizes are small (generally fewer than 18 students/class) with opportunities for 1:1 tutoring and other support services with classroom teachers and support staff.Charity and charism are part and parcel of the school's mission and philosophy. As such, students give of themselves through many different outreach opportunities such as our monthly food drives, COVID-19 testing and vaccination days, mental health support and awareness community events, and Ecology/environmental outreach at Big Marsh Park and other nearby wetlands. Students are warm and welcoming to each other. It is a supportive, loving environment for learning.Sports have always been a keystone activity. Recent options include Soccer, Basketball, Track, Baseball, Softball, Volleyball, and Cheer & Dance.Activities offered include Photography Club, Anime Club, Gaming Club, Students in Action (Multiplying Good), Weightlifting and Ecology Club.  Occasional grant funded programs provide even more opportunities such as a Build-a-Bike class.

I have fond memories of my time at SFDS.  Small, coed, Catholic and serious about giving you an education.  Good teachers, some discipline, and lasting friendships.  GO PIONEERS.

Schools poor and trash and it can't afford air conditioning
