"We have great, great satisfaction and happiness that we are sharing with the name of St. Francis of Assisi together," said the Rev. Brian Jordan, the chaplain at the school.
Briana Munoz is a senior at the school, and she feels the school and the pope share similar traits.
"Very humble, very loving, very connected," she said.
Jordan and Munoz were both hoping the pontiff would make an unscheduled visit to the school.
