Reminder: Nominate a Xavier Mentor/Coach/Moderator/Director for XTRA Leadership Award
The Xavier Booster Club’s XTRA Leadership Award was created to honor an outstanding Xavier High School mentor, coach, moderator, or director of a Booster Club sponsored extra-curricular activity in athletics, fine arts, or clubs outside of the classroom. The nominee may coach within any organized sport, fine arts program, or organized club at any level. 

The award criteria include:
  • The nominee is a role model for Xavier High School students
  • The nominee displays outstanding leadership skills to help form and shape future leaders through activities, which take students outside the classroom and onto the stage, field, and court. 
  • The activity is successful
Reminder: FACTS Applications for the 2023-24 School Year
The FACTS online application for STO opened on January 1st, with the deadline being
April 15th. In addition to completing the application, parents must upload their
2022 federal tax return and other required schedules or tax documentation. Families who applied last year should have received an email that the 23-24 applications are open. 

With the passing of ESA legislation, Xavier High School strongly encourages families to complete the FACTS management forms in addition to the forthcoming application for ESAs. This potentially opens up more opportunities for families to receive tuition assistance through multiple sources.
