Student Support - XHS Counseling Department

The Xavier School Counseling Department encourages each student to understand his/her unique abilities and tries to foster the growth of the individual. Growth - socially, educationally and personally - causes stress. The School Counseling Department assists the student in coping with the stresses of adolescence. We also encourage each student to formulate educational and career goals and help him/her make steps to reach those goals. The Xavier School Counseling Department is based on the Wisconsin Comprehensive School Counseling Model and the American School Counseling Association National Model, with specific implementation developed as a cohort of school counselors across the Diocese of Green Bay.

Direct Admit WI Now Available to Juniors

Parents of current juniors have been emailed information about the new Direct Admit Wisconsin admissions process that will begin with the class of 2025. Participating universities will proactively admit WI high school students who have opted in. Xavier High School, along with the other high schools in the Green Bay Diocese and over 200 public school districts across Wisconsin, have collaborated with this program to create a more seamless and accessible college admissions process. Students opting into this program will not need to apply to the participating universities through the traditional admissions process. The opt in/opt out deadline for this program is June 3, 2024. For more information, please go to the Juniors tab on the Year By Year page of this website.

The Wisconsin Guarantee

The Wisconsin Guarantee offers guaranteed admission to all Universities of Wisconsin (UW) universities for all who qualify. First-year applicants from Wisconsin high schools who are in the top 10% of their class at the end of 11th grade, or Wisconsin residents who are homeschooled and receive an ACT score in the national 90th percentile ranking or higher, or are a National Merit Scholarship finalist will be guaranteed to all UW universities except UW-Madison.

Additionally, first-year applicants from Wisconsin high schools who are in the top 5% of their class at the end of 11th grade, or Wisconsin residents who are homeschooled and receive an ACT score in the national 98th percentile ranking or higher or are a National Merit Scholarship finalist will be guaranteed admission to UW-Madison provided that they apply on or before the Early Action deadline.
