School Profile

As I walk across the stage with my college diploma, I am going to be very grateful for everyone who helped me along the way. KIPP is like my second family.

Patrick Silva, SFCP Alum
SFCP isn't just a place to improve or be the best, it's the school to be you, be your culture, be the goat [Greatest Of All Time] it is a school to unlock your potential.
Darwin Chan, Grade 11
I love working at SFCP because we don't settle for anything less than the best for our students. We view obstacles with a critical eye and innovate. I love being a part of that process and watching my colleagues and students work towards a common goal with a shared vision.
Mr. Olausen, English Teacher

SFCP has the most diverse student body of any school I’ve worked at, and with this diversity comes a variety of experiences, perspectives, and expressions. My students daily have taught me so much about myself. They give me energy, make me laugh, and provide a level of wisdom beyond their years. I truly love every student and am thankful for how they have impacted my life.

Mr. Laymon: Assistant Principal
