Welcome to the 2020 School year

Lorraine Willis Assistant Principal - Students

Welcome to the 2020 academic year at Xavier High School!  It is wonderful to see so many familiar faces returning for another year in our community and exciting to welcome approximately 150 new students and their families to our school.  At the beginning of a school year, there is always a great sense of excitement and anticipation as we look forward to all that the year will bring.

 

At this time of the year, I reflect on Mother Theresa’s words:

“You will teach them to fly but they will not fly your flight,

You will teach them to dream but they will not dream your dream,

You will teach them to live but they will not live your life.

Nevertheless, in every flight, in every life, in every dream,

 

the print of the way you taught them will remain.”
