History
The school started at Saint Francis Convent in 1924 to educate young women who joined the Franciscan Sisters. It was founded in memory of Mother Marianne Cope, who came to Hawai‘i in 1883 with six other Franciscan Sisters of the Sisters of the Third Order of Saint Francis in answer to the call for aid of victims of this disease by King David Kalākaua. In the fall of 2006, the school announced that it will be a co-ed school; St Francis School will be fully co-ed in school-year 2012-2013.
Moto
"Here in this golden place faces of every race come to discover the world at our door
Charting our destiny in the serenity of Saint Francis School
Make me a channel of God's ever lasting love filled with the spirit of light and of truth
And may we always be one faithful family called Saint Francis School."
