Principal's Welcome

Welcome to St. Finn Barr Catholic School!

We’re so glad you’re here and taking the time to learn more about our school community. At St. Finn Barr Catholic School, we value our diverse community of learners, educators, and families. 

We are proud to serve San Francisco as builders of unity and instruments of reconciliation, celebrating the many cultures, languages, and faith traditions that make our school such a vibrant place. Above all, we want every student and family to know: you are welcome here!

At St. Finn Barr, we prepare young, diverse minds to grow as critical thinkers, lifelong learners, and compassionate children of God. In our classrooms, students are encouraged to embody Gospel values by showing respect for their families, their communities—both local and global—and for the earth through daily acts of stewardship. Our programs and activities provide students with meaningful ways to embody these values in real and lasting ways.

Each day, our teachers create opportunities for students to express curiosity, build confidence, and think creatively. Students are taught to collaborate with others, communicate effectively, and apply what they’re learning to real-world situations—skills that will serve them well throughout their lives.

Thank you again for visiting our site. We hope you enjoy what you see and get a sense of the warmth and spirit of our community. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us at info@stfinnbarr.org. We’d love to hear from you!
