Welcome to the St. Francis Family 🦅

Today, our newest Red Raiders gathered for orientation as they took their first steps into life at St. Francis. They learned what it means to be a true Franciscan man, what to expect as a student, how to tie a tie, and (perhaps most importantly) how to chant like a Red Raider.

With more than 125 students strong, the Class of 2030 is a historic one: they will become the 100th graduating class in St. Francis High School history. Alongside them, we're so glad to welcome 26 new transfer students who have decided that St. Francis is the right school for them.

Gentlemen, welcome to St. Francis. Welcome to the Brotherhood. Welcome to the next four years of your lives.

We can't wait to see what you accomplish.

Last week, a group of our St. Francis seniors traveled to Philadelphia for a week of service at the St. Francis Inn.

Since 1979, the St. Francis Inn has served as a restaurant-style soup kitchen, where Franciscan Friars OFM, Franciscan sisters, lay staff, and volunteers work together to serve hundreds of guests each day.

Our students spent the week serving others, participating in daily Mass with the friars, and experiencing the Franciscan mission firsthand.

They also had the opportunity to explore Philadelphia, visiting historic sites including Independence Hall, the Betsy Ross House, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to send our students out into the world to serve, learn, and grow!

Goaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal! ⚽️

The field has been buzzing all week as Coach Clark leads our soccer campers through a week of drills and scrimmages. They’re learning, competing, and showing off some serious soccer skills!

Who knows… maybe we’ve got a future World Cup player out there!

Who's ready for football? 🏈 🦅

The St. Francis Red Raider Football team hit the field today for the first official practice of the 2026 season!

Coach Smith is back at the helm, leading our young men into what promises to be another incredible season. This team has built a tradition of excellence, and they're ready to get to work and show it once again when the games begin in September.

With Red Raider football back and the Bills already kicking off the preseason, it's a great time to be a football fan in Buffalo!

Nothing beats ending a great week at the beach! 🌊🏃‍♂️

Our Cross Country Camp wrapped up the week with a run, fun, and plenty of sun at Woodlawn Beach.

And after all that running, Coach Kiefer made sure everyone was fueled up, firing up the grill for some well-earned hotdogs!

A great way to cap off an incredible week with our future Red Raiders! 🦅

Swing batter batter! ⚾

It’s been a busy week on the diamond!

Coach Bartell’s sold-out baseball camp is packed with young players getting plenty of time on the field. From learning new skills to competing with friends, these guys are making the most of every inning.

The future of Red Raider Baseball is looking pretty bright!
