Welcome to the the Alumni page…a new opportunity to connect
alumni with one another and with your alma mater. Our hope
is that this page, in conjunction with our entire online
presence, overall communication efforts and alumni events, will
help you stay engaged with Jesuit High School.
Within our Alumni corner of the web, we will be posting articles
about our alums from outside news sources, details on upcoming
events, the latest news on what’s happening on campus and much
more. We’ll also provide plenty of information on our
reunions and groups of photos from alumni events.
Some of the links on the left-side will direct you to pages that
are exclusively oriented for our alumni, rather than the general
public. Once logged in, you will be able to access an
alumni directory and our networking pages. Through these
areas, we aim to provide you more opportunity to connect with
your friends and classmates, as well as utilize the Marauder
relationship to further your, or another alum’s, professional
growth.
As this site continues to grow and develop, your feedback will
allow us to upgrade our pages so that this site continues to be
an effective and efficient tool for our alumni. Our goal is
to provide you with the information and the opportunity that is
most important to you. Please let us know how we can meet
your needs and wishes within this new website.
Thank you for visiting our new site, please check in frequently
to stay in touch. We will be updating the content on these pages
regularly, don’t miss out on the latest and greatest from Jesuit
High School.
You are invited to the show that everyone loves to love: Jerry
Herman’s Hello, Dolly! – a musical
valentine to old-time, feel-good musicals.
Alumni, alumni parents and friends of drama will come together
for appetizers and drinks before the show on Friday,
March 9, 2012. The reception begins in the Band Room at
5:30pm and the show will start at 7:30pm in the Black Box
Theater. All guests at the reception will receive reserved
priority seating.
Join us in San Francisco at Pete’s Tavern on March 14, 2012 for an Alumni Luncheon. All alumni are invited for a complimentary lunch, an introduction to Father David Suwalsky, S.J. and a quick look at Jesuit High School.
Whether you’ve been gone for many years, recently moved from Sacramento, or simply find yourself in the city just for the day, please join us for this opportunity to reconnect and get to know Jesuit’s new President. (See side notes for a brief bio of Father David J. Suwalsky, S.J.)
Chico State senior point guard Jay Flores, a 2007 Jesuit
graduate, has made the Capital One Academic All-West Region team
for his excellence in the classroom and on the court.
Only athletes with cumulative GPAs of 3.30 or higher who have
played in at least 75 percent of their team’s games are eligible
for Academic All-Region honors.
Flores, a business major, is now eligible for Academic
All-America honors as well. That announcement will come on Feb.
22.
Jesuit alums, your alma mater needs you. More specifically,
Jesuit needs your time, talent and willingness to volunteer a few
hours for a good cause. Phonathons are one of the most
pivotal tools for keeping in touch with alumni and raising money
for the students of Jesuit High School.
Your generosity and commitment to Jesuit High School is greatly appreciated. We cannot provide a Jesuit education without the support of our community; alumni, parents and friends.
TUCSON, Ariz. – For New Mexico’s John Catlin, it was pretty much
like taking a calm stroll in the park.
For host team Arizona, it was an intense, nail-biting,
down-to-the-wire thriller in the desert.
When it was all said and done, Catlin and the Wildcats walked
away from Arizona National Golf Club on Tuesday carrying the
first-place trophies from the 32nd Arizona Intercollegiate.
BERKELEY – Former California All-Americans Blaine Scully and
Colin Hawley have accepted contracts funded by the United States
Olympic Committee to train full-time at the Olympic Training
Center in Chula Vista, Calif., with the U.S. National 7s Team.
By accepting these contracts, Scully and Hawley have placed
themselves among the first-ever players to sign such deals with
USA Rugby.
It’s Colin O’Connor, Patch’s Teacher of the Month for December.
O’Connor is a 2004 Jesuit graduate and is in his third year at
Jesuit, teaching English to freshmen and juniors. He is also an
assistant coach for the Marauders varsity water polo and swimming
teams.
“It made it very comfortable for me,” O’Connor said of returning
to teach at Jesuit. “I knew the educational model and it’s a very
supportive administration.”
Jesuit has begun the year with three victories in the book
against Nor Cal # 18 Dublin, perennial Sacramento area power
Franklin of Elk Grove, and Bishop Manogue of Nevada. This
year’s version of the Jesuit Marauders basketball Varsity Team is
hoping to accomplish big things with such a strong core returning
and many new additions from last year’s lower levels. Returning
Seniors starters include All City Second team Parker Uu, as well
as all league Brian Glodowski, Bryce Pressley, and four
year starting point guard Akachi Okugo.
This is right around the time of the year when Dudley Adair’s
side business starts to get busy.
The Carmichael native and his wife, who moved from Carmichael to
Lincoln about four years ago, are weight loss coaches with Take
Shape for Life, a company whose “coaches” sell meal replacements
and provide weight loss plans and advice.
“We talk to people starting now with the holiday season upon us,”
Adair said. “People seem more willing to listen at this time of
the year than any other.”
Throughout our history, Jesuit alumni have traditionally contributed to the Annual Fund at a 5% participation rate. Previously, we have leaned on our relative youth as an institution to justify our modest numbers. Today, as we wind down our first half-century as the preeminent high school in our region, we must turn the page on our organizational adolescence. It is time to ring in a new era and begin participating at a higher level.
Picture Aretha Franklin timidly answering a cattle call for
“America’s Got Talent” or Robert De Niro deigning to do community
theater.
That, at first blush, seems to be what former Olympic middle
distance runner Michael Stember will be doing when he pins on a
race bib for the 18th Run to Feed the Hungry in Sacramento on
Thanksgiving.
Just as our academic success hinges upon the diligence of our
students and teachers, so too, our students and teachers depend
upon the alliance of alumni, parents – current & past, and
friends who continue to support the school and our mission with
their generosity.
To meet our needs, we invite all
of our supporters to consider a gift to the Jesuit Annual
Fund.
The current fiscal year runs from July 1, 2011 until June 30,
2012. Please consider making a gift to the Jesuit Annual
Fund this year. Every gift ~ no matter what size ~ makes a
difference in the lives of our students every day.
On a beautiful, sunny Sunday morning, Kyle Lackner and Katherine
Abdolhosseini ran to victory at the 11th annual Lake Natoma Four
Bridges Half Marathon in Folsom.
Lackner, a 21-year-old Folsom resident, who graduated from Jesuit
High in 2008 and currently runs cross country at Sac State,
finished the 13.1-mile race before anyone else in 1 hour, 17
minutes and 33 seconds.
“It’s a good course and it’s good to win, but I’m not really
pleased with my time,” Lackner said. “I was hoping to run under
1:10.”
The Alumni Office of Jesuit High School is seeking young alums in
the Sacramento area to work as Alumni Relations & Development
interns for a 2, 5 or 7 month period. Please take a moment to
look over the position’s description, requirements and benefits
laid out below.
Middle Tennessee State rode quarterback Logan Kilgore’s red-hot
start to a 38-14 win over Florida Atlantic on Saturday night.
Kilgore, a sophomore, completed his first 19 pass attempts,
breaking the school record of 15 consecutive completions set by
Wes Counts in 2001.
Kilgore passed for 161 yards to 10 different receivers just in
the first quarter before hitting a lull. He finished 28-of-39
passing for 218 yards, three TDs and two interceptions in three
quarters before being relieved by backup Jeff Murphy.
Ken O’Brien wasn’t just on the Carson Palmer bandwagon – he was
steering it.
O’Brien, the former Jesuit High School [class of 1978] and UC
Davis quarterback who had two Pro Bowl seasons with the New York
Jets, worked out Palmer in recent months to keep the “retired”
quarterback’s joints from rusting.
After learning of Palmer’s acquisition by the Raiders, O’Brien
beamed and said he backed Raiders coach Hue Jackson’s claim that
Oakland had pulled off “the greatest trade in football.”
CHULA VISTA, Calif. – The 12-man rugby sevens squad heading to
Guadalajara, Mexico on October 24 to join Team USA at the 2011
Pan-American Games, will be engrained with a mantra that will
help it maintain focus in the quadrennial tournament: ‘Play in
the moment.’

Searching for perfection in a Woodland field, Tom Heaton spends
countless hours in the sun. Where else would he be? He’s devoted
his life’s work to a flower that’s synonymous with bright summer
days.
“Isn’t that pretty?” Heaton said with obvious pride when he
spotted a luminous white flower edged with pink. “A lot of things
out here you’ve never seen before.”
Who knew you could toss spinach into a fruit smoothie and have no
one be the wiser?
Eric Olsen, for one. Olsen, vice president of finance and risk at
Ray Stone Inc., volunteered himself and the company’s management
team to take turns riding a stationary bike outfitted with a
blender to produce smoothies for winners of a company fitness
contest.
The smoothies were based on a recipe supplied by Partnership for
a Healthy California, which also supplied the bicycle.
But as the inspiring story unfolded over the recent college
football season, fans from all over the nation came to the
Capital One Mascot Challenge in support of the University of
Nevada-Reno furry fellow.
Wolfie — who in real life is Davis product Ian Holmes — went from
roof-kill in the dugout of the Reno Aces to king of the hill.
All Wolf Pack quarterback Tyler Lantrip wants to do is take the
test.
Whether he passes or fails will be determined every Saturday over
the next three months. But at least he finally gets to put pen to
paper.
The last time Lantrip started a game was Nov. 10, 2005 — exactly
2,110 days ago. Back then, he was a senior at Jesuit High School,
which is just outside of Sacramento. A lot has changed since
then.
BOULDER, Colorado – Eagles Head Coach, Eddie O’Sullivan, has
selected his squad of 30 players that will represent the United
States at the 2011 Rugby World Cup (RWC) in New Zealand next
month.
The Eagles will compete in Pool C at the RWC, taking on
Australia, Ireland, Italy and Russia in pool play. NBC Universal
has released their broadcast schedule of the tournament, which
begins with the opening ceremony on September 9 and concludes
with the RWC final on October 23.
Andrew Susac has put pen to reality now in fulfilling the first
step of his dream come true.
The former Jesuit High School and Oregon State standout catcher
on Monday night agreed to terms with the San Francisco Giants,
signing a contract that granted him a $1.1 million bonus.
A few short hours after he bid many of his teammates goodbye,
Lars Anderson was back in the PawSox clubhouse and lineup on
Sunday.
The reported deal that would have sent Anderson to Oakland in
exchange for starting pitcher Rich Harden fell through late
Saturday night, leaving the first baseman still in Pawtucket.

With over 8,000 graduates, the Jesuit alumni body is one of the
strongest and most respected networks in Northern California.
The SAO is a fraternal organization of young men from Jesuit High
School, who serve as ambassadors for the school and for the
Jesuit alumni body. We connect our students with our alumni
through events and outreach. We are creating relationships,
bridging the gap between current and former students, and helping
to develop the brotherhood of Jesuit Marauders.
As Facebook continues to evolve, we at Jesuit have been doing our
best to maintain the most up-to-date methods of communication.
Previously, we brought you an Alumni Group; now that the old
groups are being phased out and archived this new Page will be
the most streamlined manner of contact between you, your
classmates and your alma mater.
Jesuit encourages their students to feel compassion for others
and use their gifts and abilities to help others as a faith
response to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We are proud of the
varied accomplishments of our alumni, and we’re looking for
stories about how our alumni are helping others. Please share
your stories with us and look for the profiles we uncover, in
upcoming issues of Keeping PACE.
Have you continued to pursue music after your experience with
music at Jesuit? Are you and a couple of your classmates
playing in a band? If so, let us know. We are always
looking for new ways to highlight the achievements of our
alumni. So if you continue to play music, please send us an
update. We also may have opportunities for you to get back
on campus and put your talent on display.
