St. Francis/Holy Ghost Catholic School relies on the support of parishioners, parents, and alumni to help bridge the gap between tuition income and the total operating budget of the school. You can support the school by volunteering your time, contributing your resources, and participating in our many fundraising activities.
Volunteer Program
At St. Francis/Holy Ghost Catholic School, we hold our volunteers in high regard, considering them as truly valuable assets to our community.

All volunteers must consent to a background check.
All volunteers are required to have completed the CMG Connect program (formally Protecting God's Children). If you have not completed this requirement, set up an account and complete the course.
Volunteers must carefully read and sign a verification form regarding the Social Media policy set by the Diocese of Springfield.
Upon arrival, volunteers will be asked to sign in and wear proper identification provided by the office.
