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).

In recent years, the school has faced many public controversies regarding gender discrimination [2], age discrimination [3] and sexual misconduct by faculty towards minor students [4].
