St. Xavier's High School,(Telugu Medium) and Loyola High School, (English Medium) are the private Catholic secondary school for boys, located in Loyola Town, Suryapet, Telangana, India. The school was founded by the Jesuits in 1976 as a Telugu-medium school. In 2005 an English-medium school was added but recently St. Xavier's High School was closed.
1975 witnessed the emergence of yet another star on the Andhra Jesuit horizon: St. Xaviers, Suryapet. This time the star makers were Bishop of Warangal, Rt, Rev. Beretta (Suryapet then came under Warangal Diocese) and Fr. Balaiah. As a natural consequence of their common apostolic vision and collaboration, the school which had so far remained at the concept level was brought into reality. With the cultivation of a nursery for vocations as the primary objective and the education of Catholic Students of this area as the secondary goal, the institution took off to a start. Thanks to the generous contributions from ALC and LPS, the land was immediately bought. A local committee was set up to look after the legal and practical problems arising out of this newly bought land.
