Xaverian Open House draws more than 800 students
Xaverian High School held the first Open House of its new co-ed era, drawing more than 800 prospective students on a recent Sunday, giving the teens a chance to learn more about the school, which will be admitting girls starting in September of 2016.
The attendance marked a record for a Xaverian Open House, according to school officials. Xaverian officials announced earlier this year that the all-boys high school will be going co-ed. Xaverian welcomed the prospective students in style at the Oct. 18 Open House, having the Pipe and Drum Corps greet them with music on the front steps of the building at 7100 Shore Road in Bay Ridge.
After the roaring welcome from the Pipe and Drum Corps, the prospective students and their families stopped at a registration table for materials and then went in to the cafeteria were they had the opportunity to chat with representatives from every academic department of the school. They also got the chance to talk to members of the school’s alumni and with parents of current students to learn more about the Xaverian experience. Xaverian also presented the new Lands’ End uniforms that the incoming freshman class will wear.
