St. Francis Academy Alumnae Association Legacy Scholarship

History

St. Francis Academy, located on McRoberts Road between Hamilton and Grove Roads, educated thousands of South Hills girls from the early 1930's through 1991. Operated by the Sisters of St. Francis of the Providence of God. The school was closed in 1991 because of declining enrolment and the lack of sufficient Sisters to teach. However, the many alumnae that received their high school education at that site have an active and progressive alumnae association that wishes to continue the Catholic School values that were taught and strengthened by the sisters. As a result of this desire, the St. Francis Academy Alumnae Association is pleased to continue its Scholarship program for a tenth year.
