After careful consideration, the only available date this fall will be during the second week of school.
- Wednesday August 31 - Homecoming Mass
- Thursday September 1 - Pep Rally and Bonfire
- Friday September 2 - Alumni Hall of Fame Induction at halftime of the football game
- Saturday September 3 - Homecoming Dance (lock-in)
Xavier Community System student leaders have begun preparation for events and dress days throughout the week. This information will be shared with students in August prior to school start.

Reminder: Consider Hosting an International Student |
|
Xavier partners with Youth for Understanding to place qualified and dynamic international students at Xavier. YFU has partners in many countries around the world. They have both in-bound and out-bound programs. YFU students are between the ages of 15 and 18 and have medical insurance and spending money. They speak English well enough to live with a family and be successful in an American high school. YFU families provide the love and guidance that you would provide to your own child, three meals a day (this includes a sack lunch for school or money in a lunch account), a separate bed and a study area, and a means of transportation to and from school.
If you are interested in hosting for the 2022/2023 school year, apply on-line at YFUUSA.org or text/call YFU Local Coordinator Sandy Scaia, with questions. Sandy lives in Cedar Rapids and can be reached at 319-431-5447.
