The St. Francis faculty consists of accredited teachers, counselors, and administrators who have professional experience helping students grow in confidence and self-esteem as they work through the grade level curriculum in small-instructed settings.

Each member of the St. Francis faculty has made a deliberate decision to seek an educational environment where his or her talents and experience can best serve children.  

It is this sense of dedication and commitment that enables the school to help children realize their full potential.

The Building Principal's responsibility is to oversee and manage the building by facilitating the daily operations of the school and to assure that the school is consistently supporting and embracing the Saint Francis mission and philosophy.  The principal continually reflects on and seeks ways to challenge all students while also monitoring to ensure that student's needs are met.  Collaboratively, the principal helps to develop a strong and supportive relationship with teachers, students, parents and the community.

Deans of Students are responsible for the management of student academic progress and discipline.  The transition from elementary to middle school is a gradual process for both the student and the parent.  The Deans follow the student's progress just as parents do, through the progress reports, late homework sheets, and point sheets.   He will talk with students who are having difficulties and make every effort to acknowledge the students who are doing well.
