St. Frances Academy is a private, Roman Catholic high school in Baltimore, Maryland, United States. It is located in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Baltimore.

Background

The school was founded as the Baltimore School for Colored Girls, which opened in 1828 and graduated its first class in 1832. It was renamed St. Frances of Rome Academy in the 1850s after St. Frances, and moved to its present location in 1870.

The high school became coeducational in the 1970s.[2] The student population is still predominantly African-American.

Athletics

St. Frances' football program has become the subject of controversy within Maryland in the late 2010s. After former Gilman School coach Biff Poggi took over as head coach, he began aggressively recruiting talented players from inside and outside Maryland, to a greater degree than other private schools in the state did. Within a few seasons St. Frances became effectively unbeatable by their traditional opponents in the Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA), regularly defeating them by wide margins.[3]

Before the 2018 those teams told St. Frances they would no longer play them, citing safety concerns as many of St. Frances' recruits were well outside the typical height and weight range for high school players and more in line with college football teams. Some St. Frances supporters believe the opponents' real motives are racial, since there had been no complaints when predominantly white teams like Gilman had been similarly successful in earlier seasons. The team won the MIAA championship before the season even started since all those opponents had to forfeit their games, but scheduled intrasquad scrimmages, opponents from as far away as Canada and road trips to the South for the players' benefit.[3]

Alumni

  • Angel McCoughtry, basketball player
  • Sean Mosley (born 1989), basketball player for Hapoel Tel Aviv B.C. of the Israeli Basketball Premier League
