Advancing the Mission of Padua Franciscan High School
We are engaged in a transformational effort that will position our school for long term success. It all starts with the shared vision we have created for our future.

Over the past 50 years Padua has remained focused on providing students with a solid underpinning to help guarantee their success in college, career, and future family life. Keeping with Franciscan values, Padua’s educational process has always emphasized spiritual, physical, and intellectual development.
