As a 1975 graduate, I continue to be blown away by the magnitude of accomplishment this school continues to achieve. When parents have asked me should they save for high school or college, I always reply "high school - and if they have a son, send them to X". Upon graduation, college will pose no problem. Even today, I still walk a little taller when I visit the campus. We Are St. X!

As an alumni, I can safely say this was both the best money I have ever spent in academia, bar none, in my life as well as the most rigorous and demanding experience. They have a tough program that has been the equal to or exceeded standards of almost every College or school I have had experience with or heard of. And more than scholastic learning will be the education in life and conduct that a young man who attends this school will receive. As a multi-year veteran of Fire and EMS services, the life lessons and values taught here have done more to advance my career and life than almost anything

Definitely one of the greatest schools in the Louisville area. The values that St. Xavier High School instill in to its students is fundamental and sets an example for achieving greatness in and out of the school.
St. Xavier has pushed me to succeed and has allowed me to develop my self-discipline towards striving for success and having a high level of work ethic. The staff of St. X is one of the focal points of the school as a whole. There are extraordinarily talented teachers who value character, grit, and all of the Xaverian values. Great school!

1991 Grad who values what I received from the school. So I sent my son, who will graduate 2017. He has had many of the same teachers that I had years ago. It is the best school and the only choice for those who want to see their boys grow into great men.
