A Jesuit Education for the Next Generation: Faith, Service, and the Future
Tom Arndorfer ’81, a longtime Jesuit leader and alum, reflects on the five-century tradition of Jesuit education and the decisions that ensure its future. From personal stories of affordability, brotherhood, and faith to leading Jesuit High School Portland through transformative growth, he shares why welcoming girls to the historically all-boys campus was a turning point for stability, excellence, and Ignatian identity. Drawing clear parallels to Jesuit High School Sacramento, this conversation explores how welcoming young women, prioritizing accessibility, and remaining rooted in faith and service prepare students not just for college, but to go out and make the world a better place.
