I've removed the unreferenced mention of the "barkaloo". If you have a refernece that explains what it is and substantiates its existence, please feel free to add it again. Meanwhile, the photo could use a caption. -- Mikeblas 12:51, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Minor copy vio
At least these paragraphs were taken directly from the schools site. A brief review did not return any others.
"Founded in 1957, Xaverian High School is part of an international network of schools sponsored by the Xaverian Brothers and is one of New York City's leading college-preparatory schools for young men.
Xaverian's rigorous curriculum, which includes one of New York City's few International Baccalaureate programs, attracts nearly 1,400 students annually. In addition to its reputation for academic excellence, Xaverian is renowned for graduating young men of strong moral character and Christian values." --Bad carpet 02:11, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Revert of entire page to pre-copyvio revision
I have reverted this article to the last revision made by 63.111.213.196 (14:24 11 January 2006). This is because the very next revision inserted substantial amounts of information taken directly from various pages on the Xaverian High School website itself. This undoubtedly constitutes some sort of copyright violation. In addition, it would be far better for this article to have been written completely from scratch (as the reverted version seems to have been), rather than copied from an external site—even if permission had been granted, which I sorely doubt and which had not been noted. —Larry V (talk) 06:29, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
As a student of Xaverian High School, I asked whether or not they wanted me to replace the deleted content. They specifically stated to use the link to the official website and not to place the copyrighted content on wikipedia. Thank you. KingK327 06:27, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Parochial vs. Private
Xaverian is a private school not to be confused with a Independent prep school like Poly Prep. For xaverian to be a parochial school the diocese of Brooklyn would supply the school with a budget. The school is not attatched to any parish to recieve a budget and the President of the School would not have his job if the diocese was giving the school money. A good example of a parochial school is Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School who work with the Diocese of Brooklyn.
