Jesuit demands a lot from you; the more ambitious you are, the more challenging. Very few high schools in the country create a community that understands the power of networking like Jesuit High (i.e. JHS Career Day every spring is a phenomenal event for students to network with alum like myself).
My teachers at Jesuit have always been supportive and helped me learn, even when I’m absent for tournaments abroad.”
While at Jesuit, I was part of the Student Council, I was president from 2012 to 2013, [I was] also involved in liturgy workshop and a couple other different on-campus programs. After Jesuit I went off to the University of Oregon.”

It is safe to say that I did not come to Jesuit expecting to be as involved in music as I was. I had been playing the guitar and trumpet for years, but I was much more interested in being a soccer player at Jesuit. But I ended up being more involved in music at Jesuit than I thought was possible. I was 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 formed a “Musician’s Club” on campus. I was able to carve my own path and that ended up being the arts!
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.
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.
Final preparations and projects are wrapping up, and we are ready to begin another school year at Jesuit High School! Most teachers are on campus preparing for the always busy academic year. We are rested and ready to do the important work of Jesuit High School.
Parents and Friends,
The excitement for the start of the 2022-23 school year is growing, and our planning for the opening of school is nearly finalized. I am pleased to report that our staffing is fully complete. As we work to onboard the newest members of our faculty and staff, we also prepare to welcome over 275 freshmen into the Jesuit family. The physical campus is getting its final touches for our return with the new stadium field installed, half of the campus repainted, and four classrooms fully renovated as part of our annual classroom refresh project.
Dear Parents, Students, Faculty, and Staff
Congratulations Class of 2022! A reminder to our returning families that we will switch to a monthly update over the summer—June 15 and July 15.
A few upcoming dates to keep in mind:
Let us all remember to take a breath as we prepare for our finals week. This time of year is a bittersweet transition—we get ready to send forth our Class of 2022 as Men for Others, and we welcome our newest Marauders! Class of 2026 don’t forget to check your Welcome page for events, info, and resources. A.M.D.G.
After not having use of home turf for the end of the winter soccer season and all of the spring season, we finally have some great news on the warranty replacement – work is beginning this week. AstroTurf will be on-site starting demolition of the top layer and other work over the next 4-5 weeks to complete the project, which will see a new surface and graphic field design.
To protect players and spectators and make the best use of school facilities, Jesuit High School has applied to the County of Sacramento seeking approval for a Use Permit Amendment to install state-of-the-art lights in the stadium. The need for lighting has become increasingly evident due to the extreme late summer and fall heat, particularly for football, causing stadium conditions that present significant health risks for players, event participants, and spectators.
The proposed lighting technology eliminates light trespass and has been reviewed and certified by the International Dark-Sky Association to respect neighboring residents. Moreover, with an emphasis on moving our home football games to Friday nights, away from competing weekend daytime campus activities, will relieve traffic and reduce parking intrusion into the surrounding neighborhoods.
Over the last few weeks, there have been reports of a small uptick in COVID cases throughout the Sacramento region and in a few local schools. As has usually been the case, we have also seen a similar uptick in cases reported amongst our community.
We want to remind you of several key practices that can help everyone in our community to remain safe from COVID so we can enjoy and celebrate our upcoming events:
