The school has its patron in St. Francis Xavier, who pioneered the Jesuit mission in India. Today, the school looks back, with satisfaction and pride at its remarkable achievements. It cannot forget what it owes to its great men and women of the past who dedicated their lives to accomplish what it is today.

Long cherished memories of the school guide every aspect of their lives. The reason for such intense emotional bond with the school is because their alma mater ensures that all the Xavierians receive training on all possible lines.

They are moulded to become instruments of peace and justice and agents of social transformation. As we are proud to share in the glorious past and the contemporary legacy we do have responsibility to lead this institution to the splendor of astounding future. The entire Xavierian family, the students, the staff, old students, parents and well-wishers are indebted to make this institution to a temple of excellence in every way. EMBLEM AND MOTTO
