For more than 178 years St. Xavier High School's educational heritage - inspired by more than 450 years of Jesuit tradition - has been a warm, welcoming atmosphere of learning, friendship and spiritual affirmation. Young men from more than 100 grade schools throughout Greater Cincinnati come to St. X's 110-acre campus and leave to populate the world as men with a genuine sense of home and belonging.
The Jesuit ideal of cura personalis - care of the whole person - synthesizes mind, body and spirit in an academically rigorous college preparatory education. St. Xavier High School offers an intentional focus on the intellectual, physical, spiritual, expressive and interpersonal gifts of its students as conveyed in the teachings of St. Ignatius Loyola, founder of the Jesuit order. St. Ignatius said an education devoted to the full development of each student would produce Christian leaders capable of seeing God in all things and answering God's call.
Swaying. Sweating. Countless “Ums.” For many of us, this is the experience of public speaking. So, it makes the accomplishments of nine students under Claire Hite’s direction all the more commendable. Having led the classroom for over 30 years, Mrs. Hite knows how to tell a compelling story, interject humor, command attention and never let them see you sweat. Nine students proved they’ve mastered her secrets. They competed in a multi-school speech contest judging serious and humorous monologues and dialogues. All nine finished second place or higher with two receiving trophies for the highest score in their division! Mrs. Hite and OLG are committed to providing students with opportunities to realize hidden talents and excel beyond the textbook.
