Congratulations to Braylee Jevnick on being named The AIA’s 2026 Scholar Activity of the Year!

Braylee’s impact extends far beyond the classroom through her leadership on the Xavier Cheer team and her incredible advocacy work for the special needs community through her website See Me Hear Me. https://www.seemehearme.com

Inspired by her Aunt Danielle, who was born with severe Down Syndrome and Turner Syndrome, Braylee created See Me Hear Me to raise awareness, share Danielle’s story, and advocate for individuals with special needs and the caregivers who support them. Through heartfelt storytelling, Braylee highlights the importance of compassion, dignity, patience, and proper care for those living with disabilities.

Her work shines a light on the challenges many families face, including access to resources, trained caregivers, and long term support, while also celebrating the joy, personality, and humanity of individuals like Danielle. By giving her aunt a voice, Braylee has helped others better understand the special needs community and inspired people to lead with empathy and acceptance.

Whether cheering on her fellow Gators or advocating for others, Braylee embodies Xavier’s mission of leadership, service, and compassion. We are incredibly proud of the difference she is making in the lives of others and honored to celebrate this well deserved recognition.

Congratulations, Braylee!

This year, Xavier was recognized among Arizona’s top high schools for Service Academy appointments! These appointments reflect the leadership, academic excellence, athletic achievement, and dedication to service that define the Xavier community.

We are incredibly proud of these young women for answering the call to serve our country while pursuing world class educations.

Your Xavier family is cheering you on every step of the way! Go Gators!
