St. Francis Preparatory School - Co-curricular Activities and Athletics

Co-curricular Activities and Athletics

St. Francis Prep has a rivalry with Holy Cross High School, fueled particularly by their football teams. Known as the "Battle of the Boulevard" due to the two schools being located only 2 miles apart on Francis Lewis Boulevard, the rivalry between the Prep Terriers and the Holy Cross Knights has been called "arguably the greatest rivalry in New York City football."

The St. Francis Prep girl's tennis team has been undefeated for 12 consecutive years, making them 11 time CHSAA champions. In 2011 the St. Francis Prep Varsity Handball team won their 9th consecutive CHSAA championship (with an undefeated season).
