What is our school about?

Be it known to all who enter here that Christ is the reason for this school. He is the unseen but ever present teacher in its classes. He is the model of its faculty and the inspiration of its students.

Our Philosophy

In keeping with the directives of the Bishops of the United States, Saint Francis Xavier School, a living Faith Community, reaches out to the individual, extending the message of the Gospel.

The entire staff strives to integrate religious truths and values with academic knowledge and skills, in order to help each young person reach his/her fullest potential. In this manner, we hope to assist him/her in developing spiritually, morally, emotionally, physically, intellectually and socially.

Realizing that parents are the first and primary teachers, Saint Francis Xavier School makes every effort to encourage creativity and to educate the "whole person” thereby developing basic lessons of obedience, respect for life, law and order, and consideration for one another, begun in the home.

With the above philosophy in mind, we are preparing students who are able to provide capable and effective leadership in today's society.
