St. Francis de Sales

We are pleased to announce the successful completion of last week’s WCEA Accreditation Visit. The Visiting Committee was truly impressed with all they experienced during their three day visit. From interviewing our pastor, parents, students, faculty, and staff - to observing teaching and learning in our classrooms - and reviewing evidence connected to mission, governance, academics, and operational vitality the Committee affirmed both the accomplishments and goals resulting from this entire process.

The Visiting Committee took particular care to highlight our school’s strong Catholic identity. While we have always been confident in providing our students with the very best that Catholic education has to offer, it is truly gratifying to receive such validation from fellow professional educators. We extend our heartfelt appreciation to everyone for their unwavering support throughout this process. As we look ahead, we are excited to continue working diligently toward our goals, ensuring that our school remains the absolute best it can be. The entire St. Francis de Sales school community should take immense pride in the recognition we have received. Once provided, we will look forward to sharing the official Report of Findings with all of you!

“Integrity: to be honest, sincere, and of sound moral principle.”

Are you a person of integrity? Are you truthful, sincere, and straightforward? When you have integrity, you are true to your values. During the week, look for good role models and those who can guide you. Make good choices and remember that your integrity is an honest reflection of your thoughts, beliefs, actions, and words.
