The role of the parent in the education of a student is vital.
The support shown in the home is often manifested in the ability
of the student to accept the opportunities presented at school
and in life. There is a value system – established in the home,
nurtured in the school – which young people are developing. Their
involvement in classroom and other activities contributes to that
development. Jesuit High School recognizes the partnership we
have with parents as the primary educators of their
children.
Each family is required to volunteer a total of 20 hours in
support of Jesuit High School events or activities during the
school year. Click here for more info regarding the
Volunteers-In-Partnership (VIP) Program.
Established in 1955, the Loyola Guild is a non-profit corporation
of Jesuit parents and friends which fosters the educational and
social needs of the high school community. The Loyola Guild and
Booster Club kick off the year with the “Welcome to the Spirit of
Jesuit” Parent Party. The Guild sponsors annual events which
include New Parent Orientation Coffee, Mother-Son Dance, Logo
Wear Sales and Christmas Tree Lane, with profits going towards
Jesuit’s scholarship endowment. In addition, this active group
supports many of the school-sponsored events such as Freshman
Retreat, Mother-Son & Father-Son Masses, and Baccalaureate
Mass to name a few. Volunteer opportunities are plentiful – this
is a great way for parents to get involved and stay involved even
after graduation!
The Boosters Club is an active organization of men and women who
are current parents, alumni, alumni parents and friends of Jesuit
High School. The Boosters provide volunteer help to staff student
activities, including sporting events and the visual and
performing arts performances, and host seasonal athletic
banquets. They sponsor a series of social and fund-raising events
throughout the year to provide additional support to the school,
including “Welcome to the Spirit of Jesuit,” Annual Crab Feed and
the Vehicle Donation Program.
Every year, hundreds of volunteers work tirelessly to make the
PACE Auction & Gala a huge success! This event wouldn’t
be possible without their efforts. Volunteering is an
excellent way to give of your time & talents to the school.
We have volunteering opportunities in: decorations, auction
item solicitation, advertising, gift gathering party
coordinators, hostessing, mailing committee, reservations… and
many more!

Coordinator.
