All hail thee, bold and empowered souls
Journey with me, and we will see

[edit] History
After Francis Howell High School alone could no longer support the burgeoning population of its part of St. Charles County in 1983, Francis Howell North was built on Hackmann Road on the border of the cities of St. Charles and St. Peters. A third high school (Francis Howell Central) was built in 1997.
