	== History ==		== History ==
	St Xavier's School, Durgapur, was situated in several places from the first proposal for its founding in 1960 until its permanent location in 1967. It occupied premises at an ophthalmic factory of MAMC, at a primary school, at MAMC township, at ABL township, and at DSP-Hindustan Steel. The foundation stone at the present location was laid on 18 February 1966 on land permanently leased to the Calcutta Jesuits by the West Bengal government. In January 1967, St. Xavier's School was transferred from the MAMC Primary School to its new and permanent building. Fr. A. Wautier, S.J., from Belgium was the chief architect in bringing the school to completion. In 1969, after the Sisters of Apostolic Carmel raised their school to a high school, Xavier became boy's only.

	In 2001, on the expiration of a 35-year lease, the DSP authorities demanded a large sum of money for further lease, and the Jesuits decided to move out of DSP after a five years grace period. The then Headmaster tried his best to get a piece of land near the Bidhan Nagar close to the present main school for relocation of the primary wing so as to separate the secondary and eventually a 10+2 section, but this proved futile. In May 2006 the primary from Mirabai section was shifted to a new wing at the main campus. As of 2013, Xavier has classes up to std. 10.
