A Sad Announcement to Share With Our Jesuit Community

Dear Jesuit High School Community:

It is with heavy hearts that we inform you of the death of senior Spencer Bei. We are also very sad to tell you that his death was by suicide. We mourn his passing and grieve his absence in our community.

Mourning the death of a student is perhaps the hardest thing we do as a school community. It is during these times that we rely on the strength of our faith in God and in one another.

Shooting Lasers and Solving Crime
Jesuit's Cybersecurity team makes local headlines!

By Laura I. Winn

On any given Saturday night at arcades across the country, you will find groups of gawky teens racking up points on the latest games, eating junk food and laughing with friends. On July 14 at Laser Tag of Carmichael, the young men from Jesuit High School were there to do all the above, while also sprinkling in discussion of a topic especially relevant to current events: cybersecurity. As members of Jesuit’s award-winning Cybersecurity Team, formally the CyberPatriot Club, the teens not only understand the gravity of cyber attacks threatening everything from emails to elections, but more importantly, how to use research skills and forensic tools to thwart them. In between games of laser tag, the teens hoped to recruit current and incoming Jesuit students to their (mock) cybercrime-fighting team. During the 2017-2018 school year, 18 Jesuit students participated in year-round Air Force Association CyberPatriot competitions that simulate real-life cyber attacks. After finishing in the top 10 percent nationwide at the CyberPatriot Semifinal Round in February, the teens received an invitation to the California Mayors Cyber Cup, placing first in the Sacramento Region and advancing to the prestigious California Cyber Innovation Challenge.

It Started with a Dream at Jesuit High School —Ryan Hughes ’05 is a Businessman
And he's using his skills to make a difference

Hughes holds his wife in his arms with a picture of their baby.

Ryan Hughes ’05 vividly remembers the answer he gave to former high school teachers and classmates when they asked what he wanted to do when grew up.

“I always told everyone that I wanted to run my own business,” Hughes said, “even though I had no idea what that actually meant.”

But now, as a grown-up, Hughes can easily say that he accomplished that goal…

… and then some.

But that path was not always a Point A to Point B route.

Davis Enterprise: Davis High’s Johnson throws life’s curve right back
An inspirational story of Jesuit Alumnus and former athlete

By Bruce Gallaudet

Fourteen years ago, Matt Johnson was a lot like many 22-year-olds.

He was trying to balance school and a full-time job. Matt was dating who he thought was the love of his life while weaving his many friends into a busy, busy life.

Weekends were a chance to kick back … or cut loose.

But Johnson’s hard-driving lifestyle was costing him. He blew it at Sacramento State and dropped out. His 45-hour-a-week job as a warehouse foreman was taking a toll on his body. Friends were still there, but his girlfriend left him.

Then one day it all changed — some would say for the worse. Matt might argue for the better.

Regardless of one’s take, Matt Johnson almost died.

Jesuit High School Office of the President’s statement upon Jesuits West Province’s release of names
Jesuit High School is committed to transparency

December 7, 2018
 
Dear Parents, Alumni, Alumni Parents, Faculty and Staff, Members of the Board of Trustees, Benefactors, and Friends of Jesuit High School:
 
The Pennsylvania Grand Jury report from last August details a terrible tragedy for those who have been hurt by sexual abuse in the Catholic Church in the United States, and I welcome efforts by the leaders of the Church to fully reveal the extent of abuse committed by clergy, and the cover-up by some Bishops.

I stand in solidarity with all victims of abuse.
