I want to welcome you to St. Francis Catholic School.  I am Denise Gonzalez, the principal, and I am excited you have taken time to review the website and find out more about what St. Francis Catholic School can offer you. We are a community of learners and provide a safe, welcoming, and academic environment for our students. 

This is my 30th year in education and sixth year in administration. My goal is to ensure that all children are safe, happy, and healthy.  St. Francis students will embrace an age appropriate curriculum that focuses on social, emotional, and spiritual development coupled with a rigorous academic curriculum. The students will foster wholesome relationships and value creativity in self and in others, while contributing as a member of the greater community. St. Francis students will apply academic skills to think critically, to raise questions, and to solve problems with courage and leadership that will inspire Catholic values and social teaching.  As a student at St. Francis they will consistently be encouraged to achieve their highest potential. 

To help keep you informed about all the good things happening at St. Francis Catholic School, I encourage you to frequently visit our website and read our weekly Wolf Post.  The Wolf Post contains the week and months events and activities, and additional important school information.  

I encourage you to explore this website.  Read our Mission Statement; look at our School Wide Learning Expectations and curriculum; and explore the teacher profiles. Together we form a strong partnership to ensure that all St. Francis students receive an exceptional education.  I encourage you to participate in school activities and special occasions as well as volunteer in your child’s classroom as your schedule allows.  I look forward to continuing to work with you this school year and many school years to come.  
If you would like to schedule a tour and/have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at 503-625-0497 or email me at dgonzalez@sfsherwood.org.

With kind regards,
Denise Gonzalez
Principal
