Nick Adams, Class of 2020

It is safe to say that I did not come to Jesuit expecting to be as involved in music as I am today. I had been playing the guitar and trumpet for years, but I was much more interested in being a soccer player at Jesuit. Now, I am more involved in music at Jesuit than I thought was possible. I am currently the drum major for the JHS Marauder Band, a trumpet player in the Symphonic Band, the guitarist for the Jazz Band, the guitarist and a singer for Liturgy Workshop, and recently formed a “Musician’s Club” on campus.

Ryan Kenneally, Class of 2015

I’m not interested in learning and working just for the sake of learning and working. I want to use what I’ve learned for the benefit of other people. The academics at Jesuit prepared me well for college and gave me an incredibly strong base. Jesuit also taught me about values and work ethic. The concept of being a Man for Others relates directly to my future [in the Peace Corps]. My biggest goal is to apply my talents and abilities to aid people who may not have the privileges that I do.

My experience at Jesuit impacted me more than I could have ever thought possible as a young man entering high school. I learned just as much about who I was as a person and what it truly means to be a ‘Man for Others’ as I did in the classroom. I loved the idea of educating the whole person so much that I studied at a Jesuit university, where I furthered my growth as a man. The lessons I learned while at Jesuit High School still stick with me each and every day, and I have no doubt that I am a better individual because of that exposure to faith and education.

Zach Harper, Class of 2000

My dad taught me about work ethic. He’s the hardest working guy I know. [His lessons], coupled with my experiences at Jesuit, taught me a lot. Jesuit taught me how to learn. I felt that people were always memorizing things, but at Jesuit I was actually learning and learning how to question what was around me.

Jon Rotz, Class of 1992

All of my greatest memories while I was a student have to do with the basketball program. Everything from the practices, games, and road trips … I was really close with those guys. My parents lived really close to Jesuit, so a lot of my teammates would come over after practice to eat and play videogames. Those guys were my brothers. Jesuit really allowed me to build tight relationships with these guys, where I would have never met them had I gone to the local public school.

Brenden, Class of 2022

Coming from a small Catholic school almost an hour away, I took advantage of Fall sports to be able to meet other new students before school even started. The Frosh football team started practice in the summer so it was a great way to make new friends, meet teachers and coaches, and also get to learn my way around campus. I encourage students to try something new and connect through sports or clubs; and also don’t worry if you don’t live down the street from Jesuit – there are plenty of us that commute a long distance and call Jesuit home

Reflections on Violence and Unrest
A Letter from Our Principal

“Love of God which does not issue in justice for others is a farce.”

—Rev. Pedro Arrupe, S.J., Former Superior General of the Society of Jesus

Parents, Students, and Friends,

This has been a difficult week in our nation and our city. I am grieved by George Floyd’s killing and the aftermath of violence. As a Jesuit school, we are called to work for justice and reconciliation—and this aspect of our mission has never been more necessary and, perhaps, has never been more difficult.

For more than 200 years, our nation’s Jesuit schools, from middle schools to high schools to universities, have used education as our tool for promoting integral human excellence in our students. This excellence is not for the sake of personal gain, but rather for moral citizenship that seeks to promote justice. This justice requires that we act against the overt yet unrecognized racism that exists in our community and even in our own hearts. Our work takes time, but our work has made a difference for the good. It is still imperfect and ongoing.

Parents, Students, and Friends,

As our 2019-2020 school year officially came to an end this week, our Jesuit Safe Return Task Force began its work, looking ahead for 2020-2021. Members of the task force are focusing on mitigating risk and making Jesuit High School Sacramento safe for students and staff to return to campus, and this focus encompasses all areas of our community. They are eager to incorporate your responses to the recent parent and student surveys about your COVID-19 remote experience, which provided needed insight as the task force prepares multiple scenarios for what may be a new education model.

Parents, Students, and Friends,

As much of the school community continues the celebration of the Class of 2020, Jesuit High School Sacramento is also preparing to welcome the incoming Class of 2024 and making plans to open school in August. Our top priority when we look ahead are our students. As we all await additional and specific guidance from the state and the county, I want to share our approach to reopening. As always, safety is a main focus in our plans to bring students and teachers back to campus.

As we spend these last few weeks finishing up the school year in remote learning and celebrating our graduates, we are also working on what lies ahead. Thus, we are focusing a great deal of our attention on how we will safely return to campus in the summer and the fall. This is a significant undertaking that we have been monitoring and studying throughout our COVID-19 journey. Now, we formally begin planning.

To Jesuit Sacramento Class of 2020

Our hearts break for you right now. We can only imagine the disappointment you feel each time we announce the extension of our remote learning. Now, learning that your graduation activities will not take place on campus on the original dates in May, your disappointment has likely turned into sadness. Please know that we, too, are sad that so many of your anticipated senior end-of-year traditions are unable to take place.
