You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.214.0.0/16 has been blocked by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 16:45, 10 January 2025. Your current IP address is 44.214.4.121.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Saint Francis High School''', founded in 1955 by the [[Congregation of Holy Cross|Brothers of Holy Cross]], is a [[Catholic Church|Catholic]], [[co-educational]], college preparatory [[secondary school]] located in [[Mountain View, California|Mountain View]], [[California]], United States. The Brothers of Holy Cross serve both on the faculty and on the Board of Directors. The school is located in the [[Roman Catholic Diocese of San Jose in California|Diocese of San Jose in California]].

==History==
The [[Congregation of Holy Cross|Brothers of Holy Cross]] opened Saint Francis High School as an all-boys school in September 1955. The original teaching facility was a small frame building, renovated from a grammar school and named Grant Hall after Harry Grant, the first student to enroll. Other buildings included a former residence, Andre House, and some peripheral structures. The grounds were largely orchards. Four Brothers comprised the first-year faculty. The first principal was Brother Donatus Schmitz. He was soon replaced by Brother Fisher Iwasko, who remained several years and is considered the principal founder.

Soon afterwards, the [[Congregation of Holy Cross|Brothers of Holy Cross]] invested $210,000 of their own funds and $225,000 of borrowed funds to build Holy Cross Hall. The building contained eight classrooms, three science laboratories, and administrative offices, and was completed in December 1956.

In 1959, Raskob Memorial Gymnasium was built on land donated by Ira and Elise Higgins. By 1962, the student body had grown to 685. In 1972, Saint Francis merged with Holy Cross High School, necessitating additional facilities.

In 2012, the school made a $15,000 investment into the website [[Snap Inc.]]; it had taken money from the endowment fund.<ref>((cite web|author=Redell, Bob|author2=Rhea Mabhubhani|author3=Michelle Roberts|url=http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/Mountain-View-High-School-Poised-to-Rake-in-Millions-After-Snaps-Explosive-IPO-First-Day-Trading-415246063.html|title=Mountain View High School Rakes in Millions After Snap's Explosive IPO's First-Day Trading|publisher=NBC Bay Area|date=2017-03-03|access-date=2017-03-07))</ref> This investment grew to $24 million by 2017.<ref>((cite magazine|author=Kennedy, Mike|url=http://asumag.com/business-finance/catholic-schools-15000-tech-investment-reaps-windfall-24-million|title=Catholic school's $15,000 tech investment reaps windfall of $24 million|magazine=[[American School and University]]|date=2017-03-03|access-date=2017-03-07))</ref>

In 2024, the school was part of a groundbreaking lawsuit in California, in which the school lost a lawsuit against a group of boys they had expelled under the false pretense they had worn [[blackface]]. The school was ordered to pay $500,000 to each of the two students and to reimburse $70,000 in tuition fees.<ref>Summer Lin: ''[https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2024-05-08/two-expelled-bay-area-high-school-students-awarded-1-million-in-blackface-lawsuit Two expelled Bay Area high school students awarded $1 million in ‘blackface’ lawsuit]'', [[Los Angeles Times]], 8 May 2024</ref> Because of this lawsuit Private Schools in California have to provide fair procedures in disciplinary processes.<ref>((cite magazine|author=Macdonald, Cassandra|url=https://scnr.com/article/california-teenagers-kicked-out-of-elite-catholic-high-school-for-blackface-awarded-1-million-by-jury_10e794e80e3611ef9c930242ac1c0002|title=California Teenagers Kicked Out of Elite Catholic High School for 'Blackface' Awarded $1 Million by Jury|magazine=[[SCNR]]|date=2024-05-09|access-date=2024-05-09))</ref>
