CONGRATULATIONS TO THE XHS CLASS OF 2025!
Earlier this afternoon, we celebrated the graduation of our 116 seniors who are now our newest alumni! A special "thank you" to Rev. Jacob Dunne and Rev. Gary Mayer who offered the invocation and benediction. Gavin Miller was the student speaker by virtue of his role as a school director and Sophia Mittelstadt was named the "Top Academic Achiever" for the Class of 2025.
Congratulations to the entire XHS Class of 2025 -- we are proud of you and excited to see where your journeys take you from here. May God bless you and your road ahead!
