"I was a Catholic school teacher in Maryland for 13 years and when I did my research on the best Catholic school for my two children, St. Francis Xavier was it! Everything about the school is excellent, from the supportive staff to the very dedicated and outstanding teachers. We are so blessed to be a part of the school's many extracurricular activities and events. It is a great place for families. We are very excited for the new school building to open in August of this year! What a beautiful school!"

"The teachers in this school are excellent, the adminstertors are great, and they push kids to be the best they can be. They offer many programs( in and out of school) to help your kids do better in their classes. Their computer labs offer the most up-to-date equipment. The religious education here is amazing, they integrate religion and morals in to all sujects. The only thing that is not excellent is the building but fortunely they are building a new school so that soon will not be an issue. Also wish they could have a better spanish program because they basically teach the same thing every year, also wish they could teach spanish grammer not just vocab. Overall an excellent school to send your children."

"St. Francis provides a quality education to all its students in the Gettysburg area. Although I am a teacher here, I have taught in the public school system. As a parent, I made sure that my own children attended St. Francis. I wanted to ensure that my children had the best education and moral upbringing available in the area. It has an up-to-date computer lab, handhelds for use by students in grades 5-8, a Spanish program that begins in Kindergarten and various afterschool activities for students. St. Francis emphasizes a quality education with a sound religious basis, Its principal and staff are the best and committed to educating all its children."
