First-day enrollment at Saint Xavier School in Junction City, totaled 152-students in grades K-12.

The principal of the school, Shawn Augustine, said that number is up. “There’s actually a few that are still looking at enrolling. So that could continue to increase. And then with our preschool program we’re actually at 47, down just a hair from last year. I think were at 50 or 51 at this time last year so still looking really good overall with enrollment, and I think that will continue to increase as the school year gets under way.

Tuesday was the first day of the new school year for students at Saint Xavier School.
