Xaverian High School is going co-ed
Female students to be admitted starting in 2016
Xaverian High School, a Catholic high school in Bay Ridge that has been an all-male bastion in grades nine through 12 since it was founded during the Eisenhower Administration, is going co-ed.
The school will begin accepting female students in the fall of 2016, officials announced. The Class of 2020 will have the first females in the graduating class.
The announcement was made on March 5 by Xaverian President Robert B. Alesi, who graduated from Xaverian in 1978, and Brother Lawrence Harvey of the Congregation of St. Francis Xavier (CFX), who is chairman of the Board of Trustees.
