St. Francis Academy was an all-girls' Catholic senior high school in southern San Antonio, Texas. [1] [2]
The Sisters of Saint Francis opened the school in 1960. [3] The school closed in 2002, [4] due to financial issues. It was the fifth Catholic school to be scheduled to close from 1992 to January 2002. After Saint Francis shut down, there were two all-girls' Catholic high schools remaining in San Antonio, [5] though neither was in southern or western San Antonio. [6]
The John H. Wood, Jr. Charter School System reopened the campus as a charter school in 2003. [7]
In the 2009-2010 school year Holy Cross of San Antonio, a previously all-boys' secondary Catholic school serving the same areas that St. Francis did, opened its enrollment to girls. [6]
