More than two centuries of faith, education, and excellence
St. Xavier's Higher Secondary School stands on the sacred grounds of Gnanaathikar Garden, where the tomb of Rev. Sadananda Swamigal rests since 1787. Our institution traces its roots back to the early years of education and service, growing from a modest beginning into a center of academic, spiritual, and social excellence.
From Rev. Athirupanathar and Rev. A. Louis Adigalar to Rev. I. Arulsamy and the present correspondent Dr. S. Gaspar Adigalar, our school has always flourished under dedicated leadership. Today, under Rev. L. Robert Selvan, the institution continues to evolve with renewed focus on discipline, innovation, and holistic education.
