Blaze the Trail: Rapport, Radiance, Resilience

Finding strength and constant motivation amidst all the challenges we have hurdled in the pandemic, tested our ability to endure storms of adversity. In times of ambivalence, we should not let these circumstances dull the luminescence within us. Let us together ignite each other's beacons and ablaze the trails centered on one goal.

The Xavier University Senior High Student Government envisions to adhere our authentic services to the people through blazing the trails with torches of Rapport, Radiance, and Resilience. Blaze the Trail is an idiom that means to follow a trail that others had blazed or to be the first one to do something and show others how to do it. We strive to ignite the torches of their trails with Rapport, which refers to the bond centered on understanding and clear communication, Radiance, which signifies becoming each other's light and encouragement in tough times, and Resilience, which means lending our pieces of strength, for us all to overcome the hardships on our trails.

As another school year unfolds, the Xavier University Senior High Student Government is ready to withstand challenges and lead to greater heights.

Together, our beacons are brighter. Blaze the Trail, Senior High!
