St. Francis Xavier School News:
Mission Statement: Under the patronage of St. Francis Xavier, our school community guides the formation of Christ centered learners, leaders, and stewards on a foundation of Catholic beliefs and academic excellence. As part of our accreditation process for the 2007-08 school year, the school is asked to revise or re-write the school mission statement. The Mission and Philosophy committee spent many hours gathering ideas from the school community about the mission of St. Francis Xavier School and the goals for our students. We will be using this mission statement to help guide our decisions about the spiritual, academic, and social activities at Saint Francis Xavier School. The accreditation team will be visiting our school from March 2-4. We have much to be proud of at our school, but we also look forward to suggestions that will help make us even better!
