We Are Xavier!

The mission of Xavier Catholic Schools is to form disciples unafraid to follow Jesus Christ. 

• Faithful – Develop a willingness to learn, deepen and share our Catholic faith with students
• Serving – Students perform Corporal Works of Mercy
• Passionate – Students, faculty and staff approach all things with enthusiasm and a positive attitude
• Xceptional – Students are driven by collaboration, high expectations, and a relentless work ethic

Xavier offers unparalleled Catholic education for its students through a strong commitment to faith development, positioning graduates for success in all post-high school endeavors, and nearly 100 percent participation from its students in at least one co-curricular activity.

Xavier is a success because of the support of its community. United as a “family of faith,” the Xavier community is comprised of students, current/former parents, alumni, parishioners, and businesses who share in our higher purpose to mold young disciples to be lights to the world.

Xavier High School was founded in 1998. Created through the merger of LaSalle High School and Regis High School, Xavier carries forth a proud legacy of excellence in Catholic education in the Cedar Rapids area dating back to the days of Saint Patrick High School, Saint Wenceslaus High School, Immaculate Conception High School, and Mount Mercy Academy. 

Accredited by the National Catholic Education Association and the Iowa Department of Education, Xavier serves the greater Cedar Rapids area as a Catholic High School under the Archdiocese of Dubuque. Xavier typically enrolls 600-700 students each school year.
