History
St. Francis Senior High Technical School was established in Akim Oda in 1967 by Rev. Fr. Francis Beemsterbor, an American Catholic priest.
The school's official website traces the school to the St. Francis Catholic Mission and records its original development from a middle-school foundation into the second-cycle school students know today.
The Catholic roots are still visible in the school's emphasis on character, but the school has also developed a strong technical identity alongside ordinary SHS programmes.
Academics

Facilities
School profiles mention classrooms, a science laboratory and computer facilities at FRANSTECH, while the technical side of the school adds another practical dimension to everyday learning.
That combination matters because students in science and technical programmes need more than textbook explanations. They need regular opportunities to observe, test, measure and build.
Student Life
The school's Catholic heritage, mixed student body and technical identity create a campus culture that combines discipline, practical work and ordinary SHS activities.
Students participate in SRC leadership, clubs, sport, academic activities and the routines that come with both day and boarding life.

St. Francis Senior High/Tech, Akim Oda runs day and boarding arrangements. Day students leave after school activities, while FRANSTECH boarders continue with meals and evening study on campus.
