Our core Values

at St. Francis Xavier

Family

We believe that the formation of a child is a collaborative effort between the parents, the parish and the school community.

Faith Based

We believe in forming life-long disciples of Christ by celebrating Mass together, cultivating a communal and personal prayer life, and practicing the spiritual and corporal works of mercy.

Knowledge

We believe in a pursuit of knowledge that uses both our faith and reason. Students are encouraged to develop a world-view and moral decision-making skills that are grounded in the truth and beauty of the Catholic faith.

Equality

We believe we are all made in the image and likeness of God, saved by Jesus Christ, and our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit. We promote a vision to live a life of service for the good of the Church and world community.

Our Mission

at St. Francis Xavier

An educational institution built on a strong heritage that challenges us to high expectations in Christian values as well as in academic areas. We work together as a school and parish to educate the body, mind, and spirit, in worshipping God and serving others. Parents are the primary educators of their children. Through our faith, school, and parental involvement our students will be nurtured to be lifelong contributing members of the Church and society.

Discover St. Francis Xavier

We’re excited to share some important updates!. In 2025, we invested over $50,000 in critical safety upgrades—including shatter proof windows, secure entry doors, and enhanced perimeter fencing. Families will also be pleased to know that students who require speech support now have free access to a certified speech therapy professional, right on campus. And with our intentionally low student-to-teacher ratios, each child receives the personalized attention they deserve to thrive both academically and socially. It’s more than a school—it’s a community built for growth, safety, and support.

John & Valerie Bollinger

"St. Francis Xavier School has provided our children with an outstanding education grounded in faith and values, preparing them for the challenges of high school and a life of service. We are deeply grateful for the foundation St. Francis Xavier has given our family."

Jimmy & Danice Thomas

"Our son Liam is in his 5th year at STFX, and the staff have been amazing in forming his faith and education. The one-on-one attention he gets makes such a difference in his education! Being part of STFX has also helped our family's faith grow, as my husband and I were confirmed in the Catholic faith and our sons baptized in 2025."

Ryan & Taylor Rolwing

"Sending our children to St. Francis Xavier has been one of the best decisions we've made for our family. This school is so much more than a place of learning-it is a true community rooted in faith, values, and care. The teachers and staff are deeply dedicated, not only to academic excellence but also the spiritual and personal growth of every child."
