The Xavier School Song
The Xavier School Song was composed by Dolores Avelino. A history of the song may be found in Fr. Santos Mena, S.J.'s book, Luceat Lux. Lyrics and an MP3 version of the song may be found on the Xavier School website.
In 2002, X-Squad, the school's cheering team, came up with the Xavier Rap. Xavier Rap is the school song in rap format and people can dance to the beat. In the same year, a violin and acoustic guitar version were produced as well. These two instrumental versions provide an atmosphere for reflection—a common Jesuit trait and activity—derived from the Examen.
