Saint Francis High School celebrates new welcome center building
Saint Francis High School in Mountain View hosted an opening celebration and blessing for its new welcome center on Friday, Sept. 6, attended by local elected officials and church leaders.
The roughly 65,000-square foot-welcome center serves as “the front door” of the school, and includes the main office, administrative offices, dining hall, commercial kitchen, educator center and a mezzanine space, school spokesperson Jamie Ceccato Perkins said.
The opening celebration included a blessing and mass, as well as speeches by leaders including Mountain View Mayor Pat Showalter, U.S. Rep. Anna Eshoo and Bishop Oscar Cantú.
The welcome center is connected to the Eggers Innovation Center, which opened in January 2023. The innovation center includes a theater, robotics lab, classrooms and makerspace, Perkins said.
Saint Francis is a private Catholic school located on Miramonte Road.
