St. Francis Catholic High School is a four-year, all-female college preparatory high school in Sacramento, California, USA. It is one of four Catholic high schools in Sacramento affiliated with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Sacramento, and draws students from over fifty private and public feeder schools in the California counties of Sacramento, Yolo, El Dorado and Placer. The school was established in 1940.

The high school's mission statement is dedicated to serving young women and families in the community who look for spiritual growth and academic excellence. Integrating a Catholic faith into the learning curriculum through Gospel learning, community growth, and providing opportunities of worship through retreats and on campus activities is also a prominent piece to the mission statement.[2]

During the 2003-2004 school year, St. Francis completed the first phase of its campus renovation and expansion that doubled the size of its facilities. These new buildings include The Fine and Performing Arts Complex, Library/Resource Center, Gymnasium/Fitness Complex, four science labs, the Administration Building, and the Carlsen and Demetre Center for Campus Life (CLC).
