House System
There's no challenge too big with a trust community surrounding you! Students randomly choose a "House" that will act as their social support network for the next four years. The student body is divided into four houses, with each house having six smaller co-ed, multi-grade, and student-led mentor groups. Weekly challenges consist of participation opportunities as well as physical and academic challenges. Goals of the House System include:
- From pratical thinking to personal skills, the care provided by the "House" offers students guidance and support
- Brings upper and lower classmen together
- Provides a faith-filled community of support from freshman year through graduation
- Provides meaningful opportunities for student leadership
"What Our Community Says"
"We are both alumni of Xavier, and know what an amazing place it is which is why we are so grateful to have our kids there! Xavier allows our children to experience faith every day and reminds us of our ultimate goal, to get to Heaven. We also appreciate the excellent education, strong families, and caring staff. As parents, we are the primary teachers of our Catholic faith to our kids, but we love the reinforcement and new ideas that Xavier provides so that as a family we can follow Jesus in our daily lives.
