Saint Francis Catholic Academy is a private, Catholic high school in Gainesville, Florida. It is located in the Diocese of St. Augustine.

## History

[edit]

In 1999, the Dioceses High School Task Force found room for expansion in the Gainesville area, and so St. Francis Catholic High School opened on August 16, 2004, to serve the growing population. In 2016, St. Francis dropped the "high school" moniker and changed its name to Saint Francis Catholic Academy.[2]
