History
Xavier was founded 65 years ago by the Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, with 17 pioneer students. In the 2008–2009 school year, Xavier had over 1,200 (all female) students studying everything from aviation and architecture to chemistry and calculus. Students at Xavier share many liberal arts classes with students from Brophy College Preparatory, the all-male Jesuit high school adjacent to Xavier.
