Saint Xavier High School (Template:PronEng, often abbreviated St. X) is a private, all-male, college-preparatory high school just outside Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. It is located in Finneytown, an unincorporated community in Hamilton County. Founded in 1831, St. Xavier is the oldest high school in the Cincinnati area[12] and one of the oldest in the nation, preceding many universities in foundation. The independent, non-diocesan school is operated by the Chicago Province of the Society of Jesus and is one of four all-male Catholic high schools in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. With over 1,500 enrolled students, St. Xavier is the largest private high school in Ohio[13] and one of the 100 largest high schools in the state.[14]

History

St. Xavier High School at its inception, with St. Francis Xavier Church at its side.

St. Xavier, once a part of Xavier University, traces its history to the Athenaeum at Seventh Street and Sycamore Street[15] in Downtown Cincinnati. The institute, which included a seminary and lay college, was dedicated by the first bishop of Cincinnati, Rev. Edward D. Fenwick, O.P., on October 17, 1831. Just a week later, the city's first public high school, Woodward College, opened its doors.

In 1840, the Society of Jesus began operating the Athenaeum's lay college, which it renamed St. Xavier College, after St. Francis Xavier. The Congregation of the Mission (Vincentians) took over the seminary in 1841,[16] and the college was granted a state charter the following year. St. Xavier College originally offered a six-year education based on Jesuite College in Messina, Italy, but later switched to an American-style eight-year program[17] and added a tuition-free elementary school.[12] Some students took typing classes at the St. Xavier Commercial School nearby. In 1844, the school's elementary division opened a boarding school campus in Walnut Hills but was forced to close its doors two years later and return downtown.[18] In 1854, "falling enrollment, threat of bankruptcy, and cholera" brought about proposals to close St. Xavier.[12]

St. Xavier High School formally split with Xavier University in 1919, fully separating financially in 1934. Fr. Aloysius J. Diersen, S.J., served as the high school's first president.[18] The school began its move from the original location in downtown Cincinnati in April 1955 when its president, Fr. John J. Benson, S.J., purchased a 61 acres (0.25 km2) plot in Finneytown. In September 1960, St. Xavier High School moved into its newly-built facilities in unincorporated Springfield Township, designed by local architect Albert Walters.[19] At the time, the over $4 million facilities were called the Finneytown Hilton. The original high school building was later torn down and is now the site of a parking lot.

Since its move away from downtown, St. Xavier has expanded their facilities dramatically. In 1969, the school added a natatorium, featuring an Olympic-size swimming pool.[12] St. Xavier's worship space was replaced by Xavier Hall, a multipurpose facility, in 1986. In 1998, a $12.6 million expansion project moved science classes from the basement into a new, three-story wing and added the Holy Companions Chapel and a dedicated intramural gym.[20] During the 2003–04 school year, St. Xavier renovated the football stadium around Ballaban Field, which was built in the late 1960s.[18] Along with the stadium, the school opened a 500-seat[21] theater space, as well as a black box theater, art studios, and renovated music rooms. A new track field replaced the track that once surrounded Ballaban Field. St. Xavier also converted the former Girls' Town of America[22] location across the street into its "South Campus", which includes new baseball and soccer fields.[23]

Academics

As of 2009, St. Xavier has 1,550 enrolled students, the largest of any Catholic high school in an area with the nation's second-highest private school attendance rate.[29][30] For the 2008–09 school year, tuition is $10,280.00,[8] which St. Xavier claims is $2,737 less than the cost of educating a student at the school.[31] The school faculty consists of 120 full-time teachers, including six Jesuit priests and a sister from the Congregation of Divine Providence.[6][32] English teacher John Hussong is the longest-standing faculty member at the school.[33]

Admissions

Students apply to St. Xavier High School by taking an entrance test and submitting an elementary school transcript, teacher recommendations, and an enrollment application. Other factors, such as legacy, are also taken into account. St. Xavier uses the High School Placement Test (HSPT) in its admissions process.[34] Approximately half of applicants are admitted as freshman each year.[7] About a quarter of these students are admitted due to alumni or current students in their families (see Legacy preferences).[35] Entering students come from many parts of the city, including the East Side and West Side of Cincinnati, Southeastern Indiana, and Northern Kentucky. The Class of 2013 includes students from 83 elementary schools.[6]

In addition to students from the Greater Cincinnati area, St. Xavier admits students from overseas through various foreign exchange programs, such as American Field Service. Over the years, foreign exchange students have come from many countries, including Brazil, Germany, Montenegro, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Spain, and Vietnam.[36][37] In particular, partner school Col·legi Casp–Sagrat Cor de Jesús in Barcelona has sent students to St. Xavier for over a decade.[38] St. Xavier students may receive credit for work completed at the school's other partners, Canisius-Kolleg Berlin and Xavier University.[39]

Curriculum and scheduling

All students at St. Xavier are part of the school's college preparatory program, requiring 23.0 credit units for graduation. St. Xavier offers a wide variety of courses as part of the program, which is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, Jesuit Secondary Education Association (of which the school is a member), and Ohio Department of Education.[7] The school's Foreign Language Department, for example, offers Advanced Placement–level instruction in French, German, Latin, and Spanish, as well as classes in Chinese,[40] Portuguese, Russian, and Classical Greek. Other high-level courses include Advanced 2D Design Portfolio and Multivariable Calculus, as well as AP courses in Computer Science, English Literature and Composition, Calculus, Physics, Psychology, and European History.[7] In all, the school offers 24 Advanced Placement courses in seven subject areas.[6] As a Roman Catholic school, St. Xavier requires students to study various aspects of religion and theology each year. Students are also required to take physical education, public speaking (Oral Communications), and computer usage (Information Processing) classes, as part of an emphasis on cura personalis ("well-rounded individuals").

The school year is divided into two semesters for grading and course scheduling purposes, but exams are administered quarterly (see Academic term).[39] St. Xavier meets on a traditional, nine-period schedule, in which students attend each class daily. However, the order in which the classes meet vary from day to day, so that every student's science class may extend into one of the lunch periods, "Flex Times", one day each week. Additionally, two days dubbed "X and Y days" are often set aside for block scheduling, to allow for classroom material that would not otherwise fit into a normal-length class period.[41] During any free periods a student may have, St. Xavier's "open campus" policy permits the student to use various school facilities, including study hall or outdoor areas.[42] Moreover, seniors are afforded "off-campus privilege", for instance allowing them to eat lunch at nearby restaurants, rather than at the school cafeteria.

Recognition and graduation

Each year, a number of St. Xavier students receive honors from standardized testing programs. From 1970 to 2008, 962 students were named semifinalists or finalists in the National Merit Scholarship Program.[7][43] In 2006, 137 students received Scholar Awards for their high scores on Advanced Placement tests; of them, three were named National AP Scholars, the highest distinction awarded.[44] In addition, 16 were named finalists[45] and 24 named Commended Students in the National Merit Scholarship Program.[46] In 2007, five won the National Merit program's highest distinction.[47]

Virtually all of the school's students graduate and enter a post-secondary institution after graduation.[7] Ohio State University and the University of Cincinnati will receive the most students from the St. Xavier Class of 2009.[48] According to BusinessWeek, nearly a third of the Class of 2004 pursued a major in business.[49] In 2007, St. Xavier published a directory of over 16,000 living alumni, listing "511 living graduates as medical doctors or dentists, 624 as attorneys, and 610 as engineers".[6]

School traditions

The largest of the 50 all-male high schools run by the Society of Jesus in the United States,[6] St. Xavier shares many Jesuit traditions with other secondary institutions run by the order. For example, graduating students are expected to have acquired the five characteristics defined in the "Graduate at Graduation" profile: Open to Growth, Intellectually Competent, Religious, Loving, and Committed to Justice.[50] Many Jesuit high schools have "Grad at Grad" expectations, although the characteristics and their descriptions vary from school to school.

The Xavier University seal, like the St. Xavier seal, bears the schools' coat of arms, which consists of five vertical stripes, an arm holding a crucifix, and three seashells.
The seals of St. Xavier and Xavier University (shown here) both bear the motto Vidit Mirabilia Magna.

St. Xavier students are also taught the phrase Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam, the motto of the Society of Jesus, and are often instructed to write the initialism "AMDG" at the top of submitted papers and tests, to remind them that even their schoolwork is "For the Greater Glory of God". The seals of both St. Xavier and Xavier University bear the motto Vidit Mirabilia Magna (Latin for "He has seen great wonders"), taken from a passage of the Roman Breviary applied to St. Francis Xavier.[51][52] As in other Jesuit secondary schools, detention is invariably called "JUG", which is commonly said to mean "Justice Under God".[12]

The school holds school-wide Masses on Holy Days of Obligation and other important events, as well as optional daily Mass in Holy Companions Chapel at the center of campus. Two days a year, classes are canceled, though students are still required to stay in school all day. In place of the daily orders, they attend morning Mass and are then encouraged to spend the day at school as they see fit. The autumn occasion, Spirit Day, is celebrated on the Mass of the Holy Spirit, a feast day that other Jesuit institutions also observe. During the spring occasion, MusicFest, students hold a grill-out on the school parking lot while student bands perform on a nearby stage. MusicFest began in 1986 as part of Music Appreciation Week.[53] An additional day each fall, classes are preempted for the Walk For X, a 10-kilometer (6.2 mi) walkathon through Finneytown neighborhoods that helps offset student tuition.[54]

Alma mater

The alma maters of St. Xavier and another Jesuit high school, St. Ignatius High School in Cleveland, are identical except for the last two lines, which refer to the school name and colors.[15][55] The alma mater was composed in 1937 by the St. Ignatius band director, Jack Hearns Sr. In 1958, the Cleveland school gave St. Xavier permission to adapt the song;[56] this adaptation is sung after St. Xavier school assemblies, athletic events, and graduation:

Our famed alma mater graces
Every shrine within our hearts
With her unforgotten faces
And the faith that she imparts.
Years in passing cannot sever
Ties of old days from the new.
We are Xavier men forever
As we hail the white and blue.

Campus

At 110 acres (0.4 km2),[6] St. Xavier's campus is approximately the size of the Vatican City. In addition to hundreds of classrooms and the sports venues described below, the school grounds has room for a wooded walking trail, a mock courtroom, and a school history exhibit. The Fred Middendorf, S.J., Nature Trail runs about a third of a mile behind the athletic fields.[57][58] Indoors, the Mock Trial team makes use of a specially-built classroom that imitates the layout of a courtroom.[59] Along the school's main hallways, recent student artwork hangs beside the Living Walls project, which features a graphical timeline accompanying 90 years of class photos.[60]

St. Xavier maintains 11 computer labs with over 330 computers equipped with Microsoft Windows and Zip drives.[6] By 2001, St. Xavier had become one of the first Catholic schools in Cincinnati to use SMART Boards in classrooms, Edline for parent-student-teacher communication, and Gaggle.net for student-to-student e-mail. In 2005, the school employed SMART Board or SMART Cart systems in 25 classrooms.[61] The school's library, named for alumnus and Ohio state representative John D. "Jay" Carroll III,[62] contains 23,000 volumes.[63]

At St. Xavier's entrance stands a statue of St. Francis Xavier – the school's patron saint and namesake, as well as a founding member of the Jesuit order – that once stood above the entry to the school's old location downtown. The sculpture Open End, a 1983 work by Australian sculptor Clement Meadmore, was donated to St. Xavier by Prudential Insurance Company. It stood outside the Cincinnati Commerce Center at Sixth and Vine Streets downtown until being relocated to St. Xavier in 1999.[64]

As of 2009, St. Xavier contracts with Aramark for food services. In addition to servicing the school cafeteria, which has been renamed the "U.B.U. Lounge", Aramark operates the Snack Xpress shop, Bomber Deli, and cafeteria annex. Previously, the school contracted with local company GTC Foodservice for 16 years.[65] The Bait Shop concession stand in Keating Natatorium is operated separately by the Cincinnati Marlins.[66]

Extracurricular activities

St. Xavier places an emphasis on "co-curricular" activities as a complement to academics. The most visible of these activities are supported by the school's athletic, arts, and community service departments. In addition, students have formed a number of school-sanctioned clubs with the sponsorship of a faculty member.

Athletics

Visible are the new South Campus (lower left), the unaffiliated Cincinnati College of Mortuary Science (center left), St. Xavier Stadium (upper center), and the school track field (upper right).

Perhaps as well-regarded as its academics, St. Xavier's large athletic program is ranked 13th in the nation.[67] The school offers 14 Division I athletic programs: baseball, basketball, bowling, cross country, football, golf, hockey, lacrosse, soccer, swimming and diving, tennis, track and field, volleyball, and wrestling.[6] The teams are members of the Greater Catholic League (GCL). As one of four all-male institutions that participate in the GCL's South Division, St. Xavier competes with nearby Elder, La Salle, and Moeller high schools in athletic events that are often broadcast on Waycross Community Media.

St. Xavier's sports teams were originally nicknamed the "Conquistadors", or "Conquerors". Eventually, the teams came to be known as the Bombers.[68] Competing explanations of the name change credit American success in World War II, "bombs" thrown by George Ratterman to Charley Wolf in football games,[68] and a corruption of the nickname given to Jesuit missionaries in World War II, the "Balmers".[69] Though there is further disagreement over exactly when the move took place, alumni accounts place it sometime in the 1930s or 1940s.[70] The "Bomber" is not represented on the field in costumed form. Instead, the "Blue Monster" – a shaggy, Muppet-like mascot that takes its name from the student cheering section – appears at games wearing a Bomber football jersey.[71][72]

The school's Finneytown campus features athletic facilities comparable to most colleges, highlighted by a new football stadium and a modernized Keating Natatorium. The natatorium houses an Olympic-size swimming pool, which the school shares with the Cincinnati Marlins. The football stadium, named after the school, was built during the 2003–04 school year around Ballaban Field.[18] St. Xavier's soccer field was home to the now-defunct Cincinnati Cheetahs professional soccer team during their 1994 season.[73]

St. Xavier has won a state championship in many of the sports in which it fields a team. The most decorated among these teams is the school's prestigious swimming and diving program, which has garnered considerable national respect. Known as the "Aquabombers", the team has won district, sectional and city-wide titles in every year since 1970, capturing 29 Ohio state championships during this span. In 2008, St. Charles Preparatory School of Columbus broke the Aquabombers' nine-year state title streak.[74] The team has earned the distinction of Swimming World Magazine national high school swimming champions in 1973, 1992, 2001, and 2007.[75] Headed by Coach Jim Brower, the Aquabombers produced Swimming World Magazine high school swimmers of the year Joe Hudepohl in 1992 and Jayme Cramer in 2001. Hudepohl was also a member of the United States Olympic Swim Team in 1992 and 1996 and still holds several school, state and national records in swimming.

In addition to the swimming and diving program, the Bombers are also well-known for their football team. In 1999, the St. Xavier football team appeared on Team Cheerios cereal boxes, alongside St. Ignatius High School, in recognition of the schools' football and community service programs, as well as their records in the National Merit Scholarship Program.[76] On December 3, 2005, under Coach Steve Specht, the Bombers defeated Massillon Washington High School to earn the 2005 state football title, the first in team history, after having finished as state runners-up in 1992, 1998 and 2001. The Bombers ended their season with a perfect record: undefeated in the regular season and the playoffs. For this occasion, the City of Cincinnati declared December 14, 2005 "St. Xavier High School Day".[77] In 2007, the Bombers were rated first or second high school football team nationally in a number of pre-season rankings;[78] the same year, St. Xavier defeated DeMatha Catholic High School in a game nationally televised on ESPN.[79] St. Xavier went on to win their second state championship that year in a 27–0 victory against Mentor High School,[80] as well as the National Prep Poll's mythical national championship.

St. Xavier won the state basketball championship in 2000 and finished as runners-up in the 2005[81] and 2007[82] state basketball tournament. The Cross Country team has seen a good deal of success, having qualified to the Ohio state championships every year from 1987 to 2004.

State titles

As of February 2009, the Bombers have won 41 boys team Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) state titles, the most boys titles in Ohio. Counting boys and girls team titles, St. Xavier is tied with Upper Arlington High School for the number of OHSAA State Championships won.

St. Xavier's OHSAA-sponsored titles are:

Additionally, St. Xavier students have won state titles for singles or doubles Division I tennis in 1946, 1947, 2002, 2005,[85] and 2006.[92]

St. Xavier's non-OHSAA state titles include:

Fight song

We're on our way to victory
And when the Bombers get that ball,
They'll rush right through the other team
And hit 'em hard until they fall.
(Fight! Fight! Fight!)
We're on our way to win the game,
And then we'll let our banners fly;
For we are the unexcelled
Bombers of Xavier High![100][101]

Template:EndMultiCol

The arts

St. Xavier's arts program is centered around three disciplines: performing arts (drama), visual arts, and music. The drama and music disciplines are supplemented by a number of extracurricular programs.

Theatre Xavier

St. Xavier High School's drama group, Theatre Xavier (TX), has won the Best Play and Best Musical awards from the Cappies of Greater Cincinnati for many of its productions.[102] The school's 500-seat[21] theater space, the Walter C. Deye, S.J., Performance Center[103] (formerly the St. Xavier Performance Center), rivals those of many colleges in size. It opened in 2004 along with the fine arts wing.[12] Past and upcoming productions include:

Musical groups

St. Xavier sponsors a variety of musical programs, ranging from the marching band to a liturgical music group. The Marching Bombers perform at varsity football games.[121] The drumline's two trademark cadences are "Stroker Style", played while marching into the stadium, and "Jungle Groove", played while exiting. St. Xavier's first off-season drumline started between the 2008 and 2009 seasons. The off-season line composed two new cadences, titled "Apple 10" and "Sophomore Cadence", that will debut during the 2009 season.[citation needed] A subset of the marching band also performs at varsity basketball games as the Pep Band.[121]

Off the field, many St. Xavier students participate in musical groups that primarily perform at school concerts and national competitions. The men's choruses are Xmen, Something Blue, Rhythm and Blue, Bomber Chorus, and Shades of Blue. Named for the superheroes of the fictional Xavier Institute, the Xmen form the largest extracurricular at St. Xavier. However, with the arrival of fall athletes in the spring, the Xmen split into two groups: the upperclassman Shades of Blue and underclassman Bomber Chorus.[122] Unlike the Xmen, Something Blue and Rhythm and Blue require auditions; they sing acappella and chamber pieces, respectively.[122]

The choir groups are complemented by a few instrumental ensembles. The jazz ensemble, known as Out of the Blue, is considered the St. Xavier select band.[123] The wind ensemble consists of over 100 members.[121] The string ensemble consists of two groups: Chamber Blues, made of bowed instruments, and a larger group called Men in Black that includes guitars.[124]

In 1973, the jazz ensemble, then known as the "stage band", won "Best in the United States" in a national competition, and at least three of its seniors went on to enjoy successful music careers.[citation needed] More recently, several of St. Xavier's music groups competed in the 2005 Festival Disney competition at Walt Disney World. The Xmen received "Best in Show" and "Best Chorus" with 96.7 of 100 points (a superior rating), while Something Blue scored 93 points (superior).[125] In 2007, the Xmen ranked first in a Heritage Festival in San Diego.[126]

Community service

Following the call of Jesuit Superior-General Pedro Arrupe in 1973 to "form men for others", St. Xavier formed a Community Service department that continues to coordinate service programs today. These programs include the Advent Canned Food Drive (since the 1920s),[127] a housing rehabilitation program (since 1992),[128] Big Buddies, Junior Big Brothers, and a number of summer mission trips to disadvantaged areas both around the United States and internationally. Destinations have included:

Template:EndMultiCol

St. Xavier runs drop-in "tutoring centers", where students can receive mathematics and writing help from upperclassman, as well as a separate peer tutoring program that pairs students up for one-on-one assistance. The various programs, though optional, are generally popular among students. In 2006, for example, 175 students signed up for the Big Brothers program.[138] According to the school, three-quarters of the student body voluntarily participate in community service programs.[6] ERIC CLAPTON

St. Xavier's emphasis on service is evident in the school's motto, "Men for Others". Along with other Jesuit institutions,[139] the school has expanded its motto to "Men for and with Others" in recent years. The addition of these two words has met with criticism and ridicule from the student body, which sees it as a corruption of the original, more memorable version.

Other clubs

  • An active student-run newspaper, the Blueprint, is published and distributed to students and teachers monthly.[140] It is produced entirely outside the classroom, which is uncommon for high school newspapers. Many high schools offer journalism as a class, but St. Xavier has specifically chosen not to offer journalism as an English course for its students. Until 2007, the Blueprint was a member of the National Scholastic Press Association.[141] It replaced the Xavier Prep, which was published until at least the 1940s.[70] The school's other two student publications are X-Ray, the annual yearbook, and Xpressions, a student literary magazine founded in 1964.[140]
  • Despite being unaffiliated with St. Xavier, several athletic organizations, such as the Cincinnati Junior Rowing Club[142] and Northbend Rugby Club,[143] count many of its students among their ranks. In addition, the Cincinnati Marlins are headquartered at Keating Natatorium,[18] and the North Bend Ski Club[142] offers discounted seasonal passes to Perfect North Slopes in Lawrenceburg, Indiana through the club program.
  • The St. Xavier Quiz Team, a member of the Greater Cincinnati Academic League (GCAL), has participated in many statewide tournaments under the direction of John F. Hussong, who has taught English at St. Xavier since 1964, and Ron Weisbrod, a history teacher at the school.
