Xavier Catholic Schools strive to provide the very best Catholic education possible to the nearly 1500 students we serve preK3- 12th grade. Preparing students to be the future leaders in our community and in our Church is our highest priority. Our goal is to assist students in becoming well-educated Catholic Christian adults who have heaven as their goal. We thank all of the people who support us in our mission. It would not be possible to provide a quality Catholic education without the support of thousands who give of their time, talent and treasure.

Fine Arts

Participating in Fine Arts at Xavier Catholic Schools inspires students to a lifelong involvement in and appreciation of the arts. The Fine Arts courses offered throughout their education through various experiences fosters creativity and self-expression.
Athletics
Athletics
Athletic activities are an integral part of our educational curriculum because they provide experiences that are difficult to duplicate in other school activities. Athletic participation provides unique opportunities for students to promote their mental, physical, social, spiritual, and emotional development. The focus of our athletic teams is to develop character in experiences that embody spirituality, togetherness, achievement, and respect.

Goals for our student athletes are: to develop leadership skills and responsibility; to grow in team commitment and school loyalty; to demonstrate and encourage sportsmanship and team spirit; to treat others respectfully; to deal positively with success and adversity; and to lead a healthy lifestyle.

School Counseling

The Xavier School Counseling Department encourages each student to understand his/her unique abilities and tries to foster the growth of the individual. Growth - socially, educationally and personally - causes stress. The School Counseling Department assists the student in coping with the stresses of adolescence. We also encourage each student to formulate educational and career goals and help him/her make steps to reach those goals. The Xavier School Counseling Department is based on the Wisconsin Comprehensive School Counseling Model and the American School Counseling Association National Model, with specific implementation developed as a cohort of school counselors across the Diocese of Green Bay. The School Counseling Program is broken down into four main components shown in the chart below:
