raptorduck: I just visited St. Francis again over the Thanksgiving holiday. I travel up there with my family to visit San Francisco, and make my “pilgrimage” to Franny on the drive back to SoCal.
I cannot believe how big the high school is now, nor can I believe how much money they have sunk into performing and graphic arts.
Bear in mind, I graduated in 1983. When I graduated, we did not have a swimming pool (we had to use Awalt’s), and total enrollment was around 1,100 students. They are now building a $12MM theatre and performing arts center, next to the old one (which didn’t exist when I was there), and talking about “upgrading” the tech facilities to include direct connections to Stanford’s Computer Lab and Engineering Dept.
