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.”

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!
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.
Kyle Tooley, Class of 2013
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.

A Thanksgiving Message
See the evidence of God’s goodness all over our lives.
Dear Friends,
In a recent Sunday homily, I preached about the virtue of hope. The pattern of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ gives us hope! This is a statement of faith that God is there for us, to see us through, no matter what, during these challenging times in our world and always. Hope is the virtue that helps us hang onto God’s promises through the cross to the resurrection.
Weekly Update – November 18
Parents and Friends,
Every semester I meet with each class in the gym during a collaboration period. We use this time for practical reasons such as basic reminders, promoting upcoming events, or responding to issues on campus (for example, litter, dress code, technology use). We also use this time to pause and note where we are in the school year and simply recognize what is happening in us and around us right now. We practice one aspect of the first week of the Spiritual Exercises to notice God’s creation all around us. The practice of simply noticing is surprisingly powerful.
