Leadership

When I joined St. Francis as the head of Middle School in 2011, I was looking for a different kind of school—one that recognized and nurtured gifts of the heart, mind, and body. I found this and more at St. Francis! 

Dear Friends of St. Francis, 

Are you looking for a school to love? I love St. Francis. I love how we encourage students to step forward into discovery and exploration. I love that our teachers feel empowered to reach beyond the facts and offer inspiration. And I love that faith permeates and guides every aspect of life at our school. Every time I visit classrooms and see students connecting lessons to the real world … every time I walk the halls and see joyful, flourishing students … and every time I witness an act of kindness on this campus that reflects our school mission, I’m reminded once again what a special place this is. 

Here, your children will flourish in a safe place; be led by passionate, lifelong learners; develop creativity; embrace excellence; discover their true gifts; and develop a genuine heart for service. And this nurturing environment extends beyond our students to their families. I think you’ll love it here, too. 

My door is always open, and I can’t wait to meet you. Welcome to St. Francis! 

Warmly, 
Stephen M. Lovejoy, MEd 
Head of School
