Graduation Update April 30, 2025

Dear Parents of Graduating Seniors,

Congratulations on the upcoming graduation of your son. He will receive good wishes and gifts from many people, but we’re all well aware that he could not have succeeded over these past four years without your support, encouragement, and love. I would like to express gratitude from all of us at Jesuit High School for your collaboration and help in bringing about this great day.

Senior Decision Announcements
Instagram posts letting the Jesuit community know where the Class of 2025 is headed to college next year!

Senior Decisions Posts: when you commit to a school please complete the Google Form in our bio

SENIORS!

Congrats! You’ve almost finished high school. This is a big accomplishment, and you should be proud of yourselves!

As regular decision notifications are rolling out, and as the May 1st National Decision Day is getting closer, we recognize that you will be committing to colleges shortly, if you have not already done so.

Unfortunately, the yearbook already done (yay!), which means that we will not be able to dedicate space in the book to show off where you are headed next year.

With approval from the Office of Marketing & Communications, the Cutlass Yearbook has been tasked with making and posting decision posts on Instagram, so that the school can share where you are headed with the Jesuit community. We can’t wait to share your accomplishments with the world! 

Use the Google Form linked below to share where you’re headed. 

All posts will be made on the @jesuitsacyearbook Instagram account this year and in future years, so think of it as a “living yearbook.” First, follow us on Instagram to stay up to date with where your classmates are going!
