At the beginning of the millennium, a small group of St. Francis High School administrators, board members, and friends began to envision a world-class science facility for the school. Even though the school had barely finished building the new athletic facility and cultural arts center, we dreamed of a science wing that would match the talent, ingenuity, and passion of our students and faculty. We also saw St. Francis' future alums - doctors, CEOs, and teachers steeped in the sciences and nurtured "in the daily presence of Christ" - leading our country and local communities. And we envisioned a modernized campus infrastructure, one that would continue to allow our students to excel in academics, performing arts and athletics, while still maintaining the family feel that has made St. Francis so special from one generation to the next.
