Testimonials

I believe I’ve developed as a leader by learning how to bring people together over a common goal. As captain of the Xavier Varsity Swim & Dive team, I learned how to unite incoming freshwomen who didn’t know anyone on the team with girls who had been on the team for multiple years.

Xavier Traditions

Traditions form the core of the Xavier identity. From our uniform, the blue plaid skirt which serves as the mark of young women of faith pursuing excellence, to our daily practices and annual celebrations, these rituals and traditions provide the freedom necessary to focus and the reflection required to celebrate our achievements and bind students in true community for decades. Our enduring friendships and lasting memories are Xavier traditions of the highest honor.

A Trailblazer for Girls Sports

Recently, Sister Lynn Winsor was interviewed & filmed by CBS Evening News (national).
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the start of Title IX, which expanded and gave equity to girls' athletics in schools. CBS News interviewed Sister Lynn because she was instrumental in promoting Title IX — not only at Xavier, in Arizona, but at schools nationwide.
The news team also focused on Sister Lynn’s leadership at Xavier College Preparatory winning a large number (145) of state championships in her continuing tenure as Athletic Director.

Why Xavier

Faith-based. Academics. Athletics. Activities. The Arts. Girls only. Along with nationally recognized programs, Xavier fosters a commitment to service and excellence in character in young women.

Educating the whole person — intellectually, spiritually, physically — is our goal. That’s why students come here.
