Mr. Craver
From the St. Francis Newsletter

Our St. Francis family has lost three dear members this past week. The Alumni Association offers their condolences to the family and friends of those who have gone to their eternal rest.

George Craver
George was recently awarded the Educator of the Year Award for his 32 years to St. Francis. He retired in the 2002-03 school year. During his tenure he was Assistant Principal, Dean of boys, English Dept. Chair and credited for trailblazing St. Francis into the world of technology. Unable to attend the Heritage Ball to accept his award, George wrote a letter to the community and in it said, "As I sit in my den, perusing yearbooks and reading notes and letters sent to me by my previous students, I realize that I made the correct fateful choice when I decided to go into education half a century ago. Teaching is not a job, nor an avocation, but truly a vocation and its own reward." George passed away March 12.
