Our Philosophy
Saint Francis Borgia High School is a Catholic, coeducational high school. The administration, board, faculty, parents, students, and benefactors cooperate to foster a Christian atmosphere based on mutual respect. We value the uniqueness, dignity, integrity, and individual goals of each person. We work together for personal spiritual growth and for growth as a vibrant Catholic faith community. Through a college preparatory curriculum, we strive to foster academic excellence that recognizes individual differences, maximizes personal growth, and prepares students for a variety of post-secondary opportunities. We encourage open discussion and collaboration to address the needs of our school community. Our ultimate goal is to promote total human development as Christians. We value a learning atmosphere that invites enthusiasm and self-discipline on the part of each student and teacher, creating supportive relationships that challenge and motivate.

SFBHS History
Read More“True education must fit the whole man to cope with the problems of existence today.” With these words, Father Joseph C. Meyer announced in 1933 plans for the new 4-year program at St. Francis Borgia High School.
The tradition of St. Francis Borgia High School, built on the dreams and dedication of the parishioners, the Sisters of Notre Dame, and the pastors of St. Francis Borgia Parish, dates back to 1901 when the parish enrolled 23 students to continue their education beyond grade school. In 1910, a 2-year Commercial School was organized, and in 1934, a 4-year parish high school became a reality.
Christ is the reason for this school. He is the unseen but ever-present Teacher in its classes. He is the model for its faculty and staff, and the inspiration for its students.
