Our Mission Slider

We are a Catholic community fostering excellence in scholarship, leadership and service. Upon his graduation from Xavier High School, each alumnus will have developed the academic skills and self-discipline needed to undertake not only the challenge of a college education, but also a life-long process of learning: the ability to access and to critically assess information and the skills needed to make individual decisions; a willingness to respond to the call of the gospel message through community service; an appreciation for the various cultures in our global community; a sensitivity to the needs of all human beings; an understanding of how to live within a Christian framework, fully, in spirit, mind and body. St. Ireneaus wrote, “The glory of God is the human person fully alive.” Xavier attempts to be part of the formation of such persons, young men who are prepared for college, for the work force, and above all, for the challenge and responsibility of life itself.

As a Catholic college preparatory school sponsored by the Xaverian Brothers and the Diocese of Norwich, Xavier High School fosters the spiritual, academic, and physical growth of its students and challenges them to use their God-given talents in service to others so that each Xavier graduate is fully prepared to respond to the Christian call of our school motto, “Be A Man."
