"Throughout my six years at Xaverian, the sense of community has defined my experience. From packed football games to XLI over the summer, I'll forever remember the brotherhood exhibited within our community. Without my teachers and parents, I wouldn't be graduating tomorrow. Together, they have shaped and fortified my identity as a young man. Words cannot express how grateful I am for their sacrifices and efforts."
