Join us for our annual Food Drive
Dear parents and families of Jesuit High School,
Starting on November 17 and ending on December 5, we are excited to begin this year’s holiday season with our annual Food Drive! The Food Drive is Jesuit’s longest standing tradition, with 2025 being our 59th consecutive year. For the last 46 of these 59 years, Jesuit has been partnered with the Stanford Settlement in their food drive called Operation Cratchit. All of the donations we receive goes directly to the Stanford Settlement, which they then distribute to families in North Sacramento.
Jesuit High School Receives Record $2 Million Gift from Alumnus Joseph Baratta ’89 to Support Co-Divisional Transition
Jesuit High School Sacramento is honored to announce a landmark $2 million gift from Joseph ’89 and Abigail Baratta, marking the largest single unrestricted donation the school has ever received. This extraordinary contribution serves as a powerful catalyst for Jesuit Sacramento’s bold transition to a Co-Divisional model, expanding future opportunities for all students while strengthening the school’s 63-year legacy of excellence, faith, and service.
Weekly Update Nov 6, 2025
Attendance is a crucial part of the learning experience for all students. Throughout the first quarter of this school year, we have experienced a high volume of students arriving at school tardy to begin the day. In addition to the impact that being late has on the tardy student, a high volume of students trickling into classes has a disruptive impact on the classroom environment for the teachers and other students. We ask for your assistance in making a conscious effort to help students arrive on campus by 8:00am. We recognize that traffic patterns and road construction make this a challenge; however, we want all students to have the resources and support at school to continue to be successful academically.

Continuing Jesuit’s Mission — Strengthening Our Future
A Message from the Board of Trustees Chair Kelly Brothers ’82
Dear Marauder Family,
For more than 60 years, Jesuit High School Sacramento has remained true to its mission: forming young people of conscience, competence, and compassion. As we look to the future, we do so with the same purpose and faith, preparing to transition to a Co-Divisional model beginning in the 2027–28 school year.
This approach will preserve single-sex formation while expanding shared opportunities, ensuring Jesuit continues to thrive for generations to come.

Thank you to all in our community who attended our first informational and formational sessions with school leadership this week. We were grateful to engage in meaningful conversation with more than 150 families from across all grade levels. Your questions, insights, and presence are helping shape this important transition.
We have more sessions planned! Visit the /Next section of our website (located in the navigation bar next to Press Room) to find upcoming events and resources related to the co-divisional transition. The section will continue to grow as we share updates, answer questions, and provide tools to support our community throughout the process.

Jesuit High School Sacramento Announces Historic Transition to Co-Divisional Education Model
Jesuit High School Sacramento, a cornerstone of Catholic education in the region for over six decades, proudly announces a bold and mission-driven evolution: beginning in Fall 2027, Jesuit Sacramento will welcome its first cohort of young women, becoming the only co-divisional high school in California.
This transformative decision, overwhelmingly approved by the Jesuit High School of Sacramento Board of Trustees, reflects a deep commitment to the school’s founding mission and a visionary response to the changing educational landscape. The new co-divisional model will feature two distinct academic divisions—a Boys Division and a Girls Division—preserving the benefits of single-sex education while offering vibrant, integrated co-curricular experiences.
