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.”

Nick Adams, Class of 2020
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.

School Spirit Event – September 10
Early evening outdoor rally
Dear Neighbors,
We want to make you aware that Jesuit High School will be conducting an outdoor rally event on Friday, September 10 from 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. This event will occur at the lower part of campus. We anticipate minimal, if any, impact to you, our neighbors in regard to parking and traffic. We are appreciative of you and your support of Jesuit High School.
Campus Wide Safety Drill on Tuesday, September 7
Students and staff will practice evacuating campus
Jesuit High School will conduct its annual campus-wide safety drill on Tuesday, September 7, between 10:50 – 11:55 a.m.
Neighbors may hear sirens and announcements or observe students and staff practicing evacuating campus and staging on sidewalks and common areas adjacent to campus.
Again, this is only a practice drill, and there is no need for worry.
NOTE - The safety drill will include a test of the parent/guardian emergency contact call system which may use one or all methods by emails, calls, and text..
Weekly Update – September 2
Timely Reminders Including Traffic, Mitigation and Upcoming Opportunities
MASKING – As we begin to see school closures locally and across the country, we want to continue to be attentive to our mitigation efforts. While most of our students have been excellent in their cooperation with wearing masks properly while indoors, our teachers and staff are finding that some students need a constant reminder. Students in this situation may be asked to leave the classroom and report to the Dean’s Office during class if they are in need of a constant reminder. We also ask that you help to make sure your son brings a properly functioning mask and a backup mask to school each day.
TRAFFIC – Another good reminder as we begin to find our rhythm in this school year is ensuring you take sufficient time in the morning to avoid being tardy. As more schools begin to open and fewer families are carpooling, traffic seems to have increased throughout the area. Please account for possible traffic delays in your commute to ensure on-time arrival.
We once again want to thank our students and families for the manner in which you have partnered with Jesuit to maintain a safe and open campus.

Weekly Update – August 26
This is a good time to remind families of some basic expectations as they relate to our COVID mitigation. Please keep students home from school when sick and notify our school nurse of any positive cases or exposures in your family. This has been working well so far and we appreciate the support and communication from our families. We have seen relatively few cases in our school community since the start of the school year.
If we do start to see cases rise in our school community, Jesuit may ask that all students show proof of vaccine or provide a recent negative COVID test as an added layer of safety. Families will be notified in advance, will be given plenty of time to provide proof of vaccine or negative test. Using this tool as an occasional layer of mitigation will help us to be safe, minimize exposures and quarantines, and ensure that the campus can remain open for all students, faculty, and staff. Again, we share this as a possible option should the school feel it is a necessary step.
