Xaverian Brothers High School
Introduction & History
The history of Xaverian Brothers High School is one marked by determination, perseverance,
success, and the enduring spirit of the Xaverian Brothers. Beginning with the school’s
founding in 1963, Xaverian has become one of the strongest, most recognizable Catholic,
all-boys schools in the Northeast. Guided by the mission of the Congregation of the Brothers
of St. Francis Xavier, we strive to educate each student as he hones his gifts and talents so that
he can share those gifts with a world in need. This is our legacy - past, present, and future.
As a Xaverian Brothers Sponsored School, we are guided by The Fundamental Principles of
the Brothers of St. Francis Xavier which remind us that we “...are called to a life of constant
searching. Let the developments and changes of your times be a source both of confidence
and challenge to you.”
This document, Xaverian’s Strategic Plan - Redefining Strong, reflects that constant searching
as we respond to the needs of our young men in grades 7 - 12. This plan charts the course
forward. By definition, this document is strategic, designed with input from multiple
stakeholders as it serves as a beacon for what our future holds. Ultimately, our call is to
implement the strategies and initiatives herein as we strive to further strengthen our position
as a premier all-boys, Catholic, and Xaverian Brothers Sponsored School.
While we currently enjoy a position of strength, our rapidly changing world requires us to
both maintain and enhance this position. Such rapid change also compels us to construct
a strategic plan that is not necessarily time-bound but is instead responsive and adaptable.
We believe Xaverian is well-positioned to pursue the initiatives contained within this plan,
and we will maintain a flexible mindset to refine them as needed. This stance is crucial as
the Xaverian Brothers remind us to “... prayerfully reflect on the past, assess the present, and
ponder the future…” in service to our students.
We fully embrace the ideas and strategies presented here as they will help us to ensure that
our graduates will always be equipped with the skills, values, and understanding necessary to
serve themselves, their families, and most importantly the communities in which they reside.
We are incredibly grateful to the many people who aided in the construction of this strategic
plan, and we thank those who graciously offered their thoughts, opinions, and perspectives.
We are equally excited about the possibilities and opportunities that exist for Xaverian. If you
are reading this document, chances are that you are equally excited! We invite you to partner
with us as we bring the future of Xaverian to our students and their families.
