Xavier High School

Xavier High School (XHS) is a private, Roman Catholic, co-educational college-preparatory school in Weno, Chuuk, Federated States of Micronesia. It was established in 1952 by the Jesuits and run by the US East Province of the Society of Jesus. It was the first high school in the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands. Bishop Thomas Feeney, S.J., D.D. from the New York Province of the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits) originally envisioned a minor seminary to train local clergy. Soon after, Xavier Seminary became the first college-preparatory school in the Western Pacific. Xavier has produced Gates scholars, the first recipient of the Ushiba Scholarship to Sophia University in Japan, and appointments to the U.S. Service Academies.
