ACTION ITEM: Complete Xavier Volunteer Form

Xavier has a strong tradition of parents stepping forward to offer their time and resources to make our school truly xceptional. We ask that ALL Xavier families fill out the Xavier Volunteer Form. Currently we have received responses from about 33% of families. There are many different types of opportunities to share your time and talent, and many hands make light work! Several of these opportunities or committees require little time commitment, have options available outside of work hours, and some can even be done from home. Thank you for helping to support Xavier High School!
