Private education is also committed to promoting the Common Good

Xavier High School President Advocates for Common Good in Education

In a recent encounter with a local state legislator, Chris McCarville, the president of Xavier High School, was left disheartened after being told that Catholic and private schools are not for the common good. This statement came as a shock to McCarville, who believes that Catholic schools play a vital role in educating youth, providing quality jobs, and saving taxpayers money.

Despite this encounter, McCarville remains a strong advocate for both Catholic and public education in Cedar Rapids and Marion. He emphasizes the importance of strong public schools and supports efforts to improve facilities and resources for students in the Cedar Rapids Community School District and other local districts.

McCarville also highlights recent funding extensions for schools in Marion, which will lead to security upgrades, technology improvements, and safer transportation for students. He believes that these investments are essential for the common good and the success of students in these districts.

Overall, McCarville argues that there is room for both public and private education to thrive and that every student should have the opportunity to reach their fullest potential. He believes that supporting both types of education is not only beneficial for individuals but also for the good of society as a whole.

As the president of Xavier High School, McCarville continues to advocate for the common good in education and hopes to see continued support for both public and private schools in Cedar Rapids, Marion, and across the state.
