Have a Great Summer!

On behalf of the XHS faculty and staff, we wish all of our families a very happy and safe summer!

We share our deepest thanks to you for your partnership with us in helping your students learn and grow into young adults who will ultimately be Saints not only to us, but to the world.

We will continue to send Xavier Updates as necessary over the summer. For parents who will not have a student at Xavier in the 2026-2027 school year, you will stop receiving Xavier Updates after June 30th. We will keep you on our weekly Good News list so that you can keep up with the many ‘Xceptional things our Saints are doing!

May God bless you all!

News & Updates

Class of 2026 Transcripts

High school transcripts for the Class of 2026 will be sent directly to the college the student indicated in Naviance. These will be sent after grades are finalized around mid-June. Seniors met with Mrs. Sires during RTI on May 5th and reviewed the process to request college transcripts for dual credit classes (SLU, MMU, Kirkwood). Mrs. Sires then sent the informational slides from that meeting to seniors that afternoon.  Please first check with your student regarding questions related to transcripts and then reach out to Student Services if further clarification is needed.

Second Semester Report Cards

XHS second semester report cards will be available for viewing in PowerSchool the week of June 1st by logging into PowerSchool and clicking Progress/Report Card near the bottom of the left column.

Junior and Senior Parents

On behalf of our Post Prom committee, thank you for your generous support, making Post Prom 2026 a success! Your contributions helped us achieve our fundraising goal. Students were able to enjoy ice skating, broom ball hockey, karaoke, fun caricature artwork, amazing midnight snacks and the finale- mentalist performance. Your donations helped us provide over $5,000 worth of prizes to over 150 students. Thank you also to the numerous volunteers who served in the late evening hours. Your support made this event possible and allowed us to provide a fun, safe and memorable post- prom experience for our Xavier students.  

With sincere appreciation, Jaymie Noffke & Emily Wilson - Post Prom Committee
