“Tonight we celebrate academic excellence, all that you have done and all that you will do in the future,” Xavier High School Headmaster Dave Eustis said in his opening remarks to the students and parents gathered in the gym Thursday night for The Honor Societies Induction Ceremony and Recognition of Distinguished Scholars. “You came here to seek academic excellence and you are rewarded tonight.”
In his closing remarks he spoke of all the hurdles students have faced in dealing with the pandemic. Yet, they persevered, as did the faculty, as did the parents. The event was live-streamed. Click here.
