About Our School

Jesuit High School Sacramento (JHS) is a regional Catholic high school that provides young men with a life-building experience and delivers an academically rigorous college-preparatory education to prepare graduates for lives of leadership and service.

Founded in 1963, JHS currently has an enrollment of nearly 1000. The student body represents diversity in geography, ethnicity, religious affiliation, and socioeconomic background. JHS draws from more than 79 zip codes throughout the Greater Sacramento Area with 99.5 percent of graduates going on to college or university.

Home of “The Marauders,” JHS has one of the region’s most successful men’s athletic programs, more than 22 visual and performing arts offerings, a robust Honors and Advanced Placement curriculum including the innovative international AP Capstone Diploma Program, an award-winning robotics program, and a club for every passion.

A JHS education fosters a “Men for Others” culture, with students volunteering locally on a regular basis and globally during summer immersion opportunities, giving more than 10,000 hours annually, primarily to at-risk, underserved, and homeless populations.

As the school prepares to welcome students into both the Boys Division and a new Girls Division in the coming years, this tradition of service and formation will continue to be at the heart of the Jesuit mission—rooted in nearly 500 years of Jesuit education, founded by St. Ignatius of Loyola, and dedicated to forming students intellectually, spiritually, and morally.
