San Xavier Mission School Suspends Operations

Due to a significant decrease in enrollment, as well as lack of critical staffing to include a kindergarten teacher and principal, San Xavier Mission School was left with no other option but to suspend operations effective August 12. We are working with parents and guardians to help place the 45 children in another school, especially if they wish to transfer to a Catholic school. 

San Xavier parish has a fiduciary responsibility to be a good steward of parish and school finances. The fiscal forecast supports a temporary suspension of operations with the goal of renovating, reorganizing, and reopening in the future. The planning process to lay the foundation for long-term success has begun.
