As a reminder, Prom 2023 will be held on April 22, 2023. Here are some important updates regarding the event: 

Grand March will be held in the Ron Thillen Gymnasium starting promptly at 8pm. All are welcome to watch students as they are announced, with the crowning of Prom King and Queen to conclude the ceremony. Doors to this event will open at 6:30pm. Students participating in Grand March will enter through the Main Entrance, while all spectators should use the Activities Entrance.

New: We are looking for a few parents willing to chaperone the dance from 8:45pm until 10:30pm. If you are interested in chaperoning, please email Rachael Carolan at rachael.carolan@xaviersaints.org.

Grant Wood AEA will be providing their annual hearing testing at Xavier the morning of Friday April 28th. Students at Xavier are tested only if there is a known history of hearing loss or if they are new to Xavier Catholic School System. If your student does not meet that criteria and you have hearing concerns and want them screened, please contact Kris Naeve at 294-6635 Ext 318 or email at kris.naeve@xaviersaints.org for a consent form to have your child screened. If you have a student with known hearing loss, history of ear problems, or if your student is new to the Xavier Catholic School System with a history of hearing loss and you do not want their hearing tested, you need to indicate in writing to Kris Naeve at Xavier High School. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the school nurse.

Senior parents, in order to accurately and completely recognize all deserving students who have been awarded college and university scholarships, we need to collect information about those awards. Your student may also earn awards from organizations outside of Xavier.

We are asking that you submit to us a copy of the letter or certificate documenting any college or university scholarship earned by your student. If your student has been offered scholarships by more than one institution, you should include all of them in your reporting.

This documentation should be submitted to Student Services Secretary Mrs. Anne Wallraff no later than Friday, April 21 at 3:00 p.m.
