Last week, we welcomed 10 Mildred Osborne 8th Grade Scholars to campus to experience a day in the life of a Prep student. You can schedule a visit too—come see what it’s like to learn, lead, and thrive as a Yellow Jacket.

We are deeply grateful to the Xavier University Preparatory Alumni Association for their generous $20,000 gift to support student scholarships. This blessing helps ensure more young women can receive a Prep education and continue our legacy for generations to come.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed so far. Your generosity is bringing us closer to installing new, code-compliant storefront doors that will make our campus safer, brighter, and more welcoming for every student.
