Be Part Of The

TRADITION MAKING YOUR OWN LEGACY. Whatever your God-given gifts and talents, Xavier will provide opportunities to strengthen those that already exist and discover even more! A baseball player can be the lead role in the musical, a member of our jazz band can be a Peer Minister, an AP student can travel to Guatemala on our annual international service trip – the most successful students are the ones who take advantage of all Xavier has to offer! Beyond the experiences themselves, the bonds our students make with their fellow Falcons are ones that last a lifetime.

Applying Your

TALENTS

BY USING YOUR GIFTS FOR THE BENEFIT OF OTHERS, serving those in need and building a future of hope for those who are marginalized, you fulfill the Gospel call and become the man you were created to be.

THE ARTS, MUSIC, AND THEATER are vibrant programs that allow students to deepen their skills and passions, explore new areas, and shine on stage.

Under the tutelage of fine faculty, Xavier students have earned many awards in these areas.

Enduring Personal

O O

RELATIONSHIPS

FROM THE MOMENT YOU MEET YOUR BIG FALCON to the day you toss your cap at graduation, a bond of brotherhood is formed between the men of Xavier. As a part of the Xaverian tradition, our instructors, counselors, ministry leaders, coaches, and assistants strive to create an atmosphere in which relationships can grow and thrive.

“Xavier is a place where so many memories are created and life-long friendships developed. It is a second family where accomplishments are celebrated by the COMMUNITY, and support during times of need is afforded to all.” – Tony Jaskot ’69

“Xavier was instrumental in my growth as a man.

This school helped me understand what it means to be accountable for my actions and the choices I make, and to be disciplined in my approach to EXCELLENCE.” – Joe DeRing ’96

O “Our teachers used to tell us that we were Xavier men 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and that we had an obligation to uphold the standards that came with it. It's a TRADITION that still inspires me and that I still work to live up to.” – Brandon Trama ’02

“Through the ability to garner new friendships and relationships, as well as study habits and time management, my experience at Xavier better PREPARED me for the college experience, more than I could have imagined!” – Kevin Canney ’17

“The high standards set forth by Xavier more than prepared me for college and future successes beyond as a Xavier man. The faces have changed since my days at Xavier, but every time I walk in that building I am HOME.” – Bernie Hallums ’81
