Where We Are: Building the Path Forward

posted Dec 18, 2025

As shown in our milestone timeline, Jesuit is in the “Pathways & Proceeding Groups Built Out” phase, laying the groundwork for a smooth co-divisional transition. Here are a few things happening now:

• Counseling & Athletics department leaders visited Jesuit Portland to learn from their successful transition in the early 2000s from an all-boys to a co-educational school.
• Working committees at both the Board and school levels are expanding the framework and developing operational parameters.
• An on-site Transition Coordinator was hired to support and streamline the administrative aspects of the change process.
• Faculty, staff, and Board attended “visioneering sessions” with renowned strategy and foresight facilitator Jim Oswald to bring planning “off the page and into color,” revealing the soul and heartbeat of what a co-divisional Jesuit education will be. (Watch for more sessions coming for students, parents, and alumni)
