Xavier College Preparatory

Our faculty and staff recently had the opportunity to live out Xavier’s mission of service by volunteering with St. Vincent de Paul.

Together, they spent the day organizing donations, preparing meals, and serving members of our community with compassion and care.

We are incredibly grateful for these dedicated educators and staff members. Their willingness to serve beyond the classroom is a powerful reflection of the values we strive to instill in our students every day.

Thank you to St. Vincent de Paul for welcoming us and for the important work you do to support our community!

members were honored to represent Xavier College Prep at the Grand Opening of Acacia Heights III alongside community leaders, donors, and partners working to expand affordable housing opportunities in Phoenix.

Developed through Catholic Charities Arizona and its partners, Acacia Heights III adds 68 new affordable housing units for seniors and families, helping provide safe housing, community connection, and access to transportation in Central Phoenix.

The event brought together many inspiring community leaders, including Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego, Auxiliary Bishop Peter Dai Bui, Arizona District 5 Representative Sarah Liguori, and many others dedicated to strengthening our community.

Thank you for the opportunity to be part of such a meaningful event and witness the impact of service, collaboration, and advocacy in action. 💚💙💚

Congratulations to Braylee Jevnick on being named The AIA’s 2026 Scholar Activity of the Year!

Braylee’s impact extends far beyond the classroom through her leadership on the Xavier Cheer team and her incredible advocacy work for the special needs community through her website See Me Hear Me. https://www.seemehearme.com

Inspired by her Aunt Danielle, who was born with severe Down Syndrome and Turner Syndrome, Braylee created See Me Hear Me to raise awareness, share Danielle’s story, and advocate for individuals with special needs and the caregivers who support them. Through heartfelt storytelling, Braylee highlights the importance of compassion, dignity, patience, and proper care for those living with disabilities.

Her work shines a light on the challenges many families face, including access to resources, trained caregivers, and long term support, while also celebrating the joy, personality, and humanity of individuals like Danielle. By giving her aunt a voice, Braylee has helped others better understand the special needs community and inspired people to lead with empathy and acceptance.

Whether cheering on her fellow Gators or advocating for others, Braylee embodies Xavier’s mission of leadership, service, and compassion. We are incredibly proud of the difference she is making in the lives of others and honored to celebrate this well deserved recognition.

Congratulations, Braylee!
