The 2026 Open House will take place on Sunday, October 18, from 12:00 to 3:00 p.m.
Open House is your opportunity to experience Jesuit High School Sacramento firsthand. Each October, we welcome girls and boys in grades 5 through 10 and their families to explore our beautiful 53-acre campus that is designed with a university-style feel, meet the people who make our community exceptional, and learn how a Jesuit education prepares students for success in college and beyond.
Tour classrooms, science labs, athletic facilities, performance spaces, and places of prayer and reflection. Along the way, you'll connect with teachers, students, coaches, current parents, and alumni who are eager to share their Jesuit experience and answer your questions.
