Weekly Updates

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. 

 Tips

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.

Dear Jesuit Families,

It has been a wonderful few weeks seeing our campus come alive again — filled with the energy, joy, and spirit of our students. Whether at our Parents Dinners, Back-to-School Night, or cheering together at Friday night football, I’ve been deeply moved by the many ways we gather as a Jesuit family to celebrate one another and the incredible young men we serve.

Every conversation with you, every walk around campus, every interaction with a student, leaves me energized and profoundly grateful. 

Lately, I’ve been mindful of the Ignatian way of proceeding: to discern, to collaborate, and to act with purpose and love, all for the greater glory of God.  These values are reflected not only in our daily work on campus, but also in the leadership work of our Board of Trustees. With 23 dedicated members — including nine who are alumni, six current parents, nine alumni parents, and two Jesuits — our Board brings deep wisdom and a spirit of Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam (AMDG) to their generous service.

Together, we stay focused on mission richness, enrollment and revenue predictability, and long-term sustainability. This Board is about to meet for its annual retreat, a time for them to reflect on how we can best serve our students, families, and alumni — ensuring Jesuit remains the premier leader of the Catholic educational experience in our region long into the future.

For over 60 years, Jesuit has not just been a school with a mission — we are a mission with a school.

I invite you to join us in this mission throughout the year. Come to campus events, connect with me, our faculty, and our staff, and bring your friends! Jesuit is more than a place of learning — it is a home where lifelong memories are made and futures are shaped.

With gratitude and hope,

Chris Alling
President, Jesuit High School of Sacramento
