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.”

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.
What's New
Staying Connected – Jan 16
Special schedule next week - Monday holiday
Dear Parents, Students, Faculty and Staff,
“For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them” – Matthew 18:20
One of my greatest joys is developing relationships with the students, parents, faculty, and staff at Jesuit. Given the effects of COVID on education, consistently finding this joy has been an incredibly unique challenge this school year. I imagine developing and sustaining the relationships we hold dear has been a challenge for all of us on some level. The Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year holidays were all different as we found new ways to gather safely with those we love. I am proud of the faculty, staff, and families in this community for overcoming those challenges and adjusting to new ways of doing things throughout the first semester. I was equally thrilled to celebrate Mass for the first time together for the Mass for Peace and Justice on January 15. To paraphrase Fr. Petrich’s opening statement at Mass, being together and sharing the Gospel in the community reminds me that God is always amongst us in everything we do at Jesuit High School. As Matthew 18:20 says, “For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”
That desire to come together as a community is why so many people have continued to dedicate themselves to bringing students back onto campus as much as we can this semester. Seeing our campus come to life this week with more students, faculty, and staff in the hallways, in the classrooms, and on our practice fields brought a new sense of hope for 2021. Getting a chance to chat with parents as they dropped off their sons to participate in Wednesday’s fun and festive activities was the highlight of the week for me. We look forward to our next opportunities to bring students together to build community, learn together, have fun, and just be teenagers. As we roll out our plans for what is sure to be an exciting semester filled with learning and community building, I invite you all to lean into the hope that being on campus brings by being here together as often as we can. Parents, encourage your son to give more days of on-campus learning a try this semester. Students, gather groups of your friends and be with each other in class and at lunch. Seniors, reach out to Freshmen and help them become a part of our Brotherhood. Let us cherish the time we have together as a community over the coming months.
The next two weeks will have non-standard class schedules due to the holiday and National Test Day – please check the calendar closely. Students will have the opportunity to learn on campus for four days of classes. However, the order of class meetings will be shuffled around a bit at the beginning of the week due to the Martin Luther King Jr., holiday on January 18 and the PSAT day for registered Juniors on January 26. Please see the bundles below for more information and the bell schedule for each of the next two weeks.
Special Testing Message
For those that missed the on-campus drive through PCR test
If you are receiving this message, Jesuit has noted that you are currently distance learning for one of two reasons:
- Family Choice to Distance Learn: Many of you have proactively made the choice to have your student remain home and Distance Learn, and we will continue to support you as we move further into the second semester. If at a future time you wish your student to return to campus, please contact Meghan Blees for information on when the next Return to Campus Orientation will be held.
- Student Missed PCR Test: You missed or chose, at that time, not to participate in the all-school drive-through PCR testing opportunity and would like an opportunity to return to campus without waiting the additional two weeks.
