Information is being shared on St. Francis Xavier Catholic School in Junction City. Noted was the outpouring of support received from various donors including those that provided the best school auction result in many years!
The school was also the beneficiary of a gift from the Saint Xavier Foundation. This foundation gift was given with the intention of being a sustainable third source of financial support to help maintain a PreK-12 program which leads to strong academic, social, and spiritual outcomes for all students. They also have received the addition of two new scholarships for students, ACE and the John Fisher Scholarship Fund. They are currently developing a five-year plan to advance St. Francis Xavier Catholic School.
Many families seek educational options that best meet the needs of their children and connect the whole family to a community. Our school is centered on Christ and welcomes those of all faiths. Theyteach students about humanity, society, and nature, but also how to navigate life’s challenges in preparation for the future.
Officials have already begun the first year of a five-year plan to develop a more effective model for sustainability that is less dependent upon the parish subsidy. They are working to grow enrollment, increase revenue, and offer student scholarships, to ensure a Christian education is accessible for families. Thanks again to all our parents, donors, parishioners, and the community who make educating the whole person (body, mind, and spirit) possible each year for our students. We look forward to their continued support of St. Francis Xavier Catholic School’s PreK-12 program for years to come
