Private Catholic High School
Founded in 1947, the school is named after Father Francisco Garcés, a Spanish Franciscan priest and missionary who explored much of the southwestern part of North America, including what is now the Bakersfield region. The school is located near the terminus of the Panorama (aka China Grade) Bluffs on the exact site Father Francisco Graces wrote would make a perfect place for a mission for the local Indian populace in his exploration of the Rio Bravo de San Felipe now known as the Kern River. This site overlooks central Bakersfield atop a bluff that was once the delta of the Kern River.
