History
The school was founded in 1957 by the Xaverian Brothers.[3] The school is a member of the Catholic High School Athletic Association (CHSAA). Xaverian is governed by a president and board of trustees. It is operated independently of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn. As of 2021–22 the school had a total student population of 1,625. 1,157 students identified as White, 227 as Hispanic, 101 as Asian, 65 as Black, 4 as Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, and 71 as two or more races.[1]
On March 5, 2015, the board of trustees made a decision to incorporate co-education to the high school, beginning in 2016. The school's first boys and girls class was admitted for the 2016–2017 school year. Xaverian High School also has a sister school located in Bruges, Belgium called the Sint-Franciscus-Xaveriusinstituut and maintains a yearly cultural exchange program with the school allowing exchange students to come to New York City in the fall and Xaverian students to go to Belgium in the winter.[4][5][6]
