averian Brothers High School prides
itself on being a community that fosters
the development of the whole person
- mind, body, and spirit. Teaching and
learning at Xaverian goes beyond information
gathering to include critical thinking,
collaboration, and discovering the creative
dimensions of a well-rounded personality.
We seek to cultivate an appreciation for the
fine and performing arts. And, we know that
preparing the next generation of leaders also
requires competence in science, technology,
engineering, and math.
That is why we are investing in the arts
and engineering at Xaverian. Our goal is to
strengthen minds and empower creativity for
students from grades 7-12. We aim to enhance
all opportunities for exploration in the arts
and engineering at Xaverian, which will have
a big impact on our students’ high school and
college experiences. Join us by investing in the
following initiatives:

ur students love experiential learning. Look no further than the theater on any given afternoon,
and you will find students tinkering with lights, running cables, and testing
microphones. These students are preparing sound and lighting for Xaverian’s
next theatrical production. It’s a big task. Their creativity in lighting
design and technical knowledge in sound engineering set the mood
for the show. But what happens when the technology available
doesn’t meet the need? Suddenly the bounds of our students’
imagination hits its limit.
In order to equip our students for the best hands-on
experience in our theater program, Xaverian aims to
upgrade our current lighting system from an analog
system to a digital, LED system, and replace our
outdated sound system. Not only will this provide the
best experiential learning, but it will literally light up
many future productions, bettering the experience
for our student actors, stage hands, and our audience
members. Don’t let the lights go out or the sound
cut off. Help us enhance the creative and technical
opportunities for our students involved in theater.
THEATRICAL LIGHTING AND SOUND SYSTEM UPGRADE: $200,000
“To be able to provide a space
which encompasses lighting and
sound, matching the caliber of
the students here at Xaverian,
undoubtedly helps us provide
a theatrical experience that
is exciting, challenging, and
inspiring.”
