The mission of Xavier's Council for Equity, Inclusion, and Diversity (XCEID) is to engage Xavier students, faculty, and staff in intentional, ongoing, and courageous conversations about race, equity, cultural competency, and community engagement in adherence to the fulfillment of our mission as a Jesuit secondary institution. XCEID is dedicated to developing a stronger and more inclusive school culture that provides outreach and support to students of color and their parents as well as approachable and productive means of encouraging further discussion of diversity, equity, and inclusion with our colleagues.

A school-wide event that engages all members of the Xavier community in conversations regarding race, compassion, equity, and inclusion.

Advisement Program

Homeroom Advisers are trained to facilitate mini-workshops with their individual student advisement groups that promote interactive and consistent dialogues on relevant topics for the 21st century learner (i.e. cyber etiquette, interpersonal relationships with classmates, time management, cultural competency, and problem-solving skills as applied to real-life situations).

Professional and Leadership Development

Under the leadership of the Headmaster, students, parents, faculty, administrators, and staff are continuously involved in opportunities to build and cultivate their global awareness, cultural competency, and diversity, equity, and inclusion skills by way of various conferences and seminars sponsored by the National Association of Independent Schools, the New York State Association of Independent Schools, the Jesuit Schools Network, and local schools and organizations (i.e., NAIS People of Color Conference, Ignatian Family Teach-In for Justice, The Dalton Conference).
