St. Francis Catholic High School will be featured on the TLC network reality show “Surprise Homecoming” hosted by Billy Ray Cyrus on August 8th at 10:00 pm EST. Be sure to check your local listings in case of a change in air time. Surprise Homecoming is a show dedicated to reuniting deployed solders in the United States Army with their families. The father of one of our students chose to surprise his family at our Spring Football Jamboree. It was an extremely exciting and emotional reunion for the family and the entire St. Francis community. Be sure to watch!
This year at St. Francis, we have a variety of opportunities to support our school and mingle with our families and friends:
