Saint Francis School in Honolulu, Hawai‘i is located in the neighborhood of Mānoa next to the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. Located in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Honolulu, it is a Roman Catholic school serving boys and girls in grades Pre-K through 12.
[edit] 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 Ssters 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. [1] 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.==External links==
