Welcome Class of 2029
An info page just for our newest Marauders!
We are excited to have you join the Jesuit High School community! You are about to embark on a four-year journey where we hope that you will explore new opportunities, grow as a young man and embody the “Man for Others” spirit.
We hope the information on this page will answer any questions. Please check back regularly as more information becomes available!
Physicals due for all freshman (and new transfers)
Make sure your FinalForms account is up-to-date!
- Upload your physical to FinalForms. You must have one on file before starting school or sports.
- Select sports your student is interested in. Don’t wait for the season to start, indicate interest as soon as possible! This makes sure you get early communications from the coaching staff about practices, gear, and meetings. You can check as many as you wish, and it is easy to update if he changes his mind. It is not a commitment, just a request for more information as it becomes available.
- Make sure you are all green. Green means you have completed an item in FinalForms. Participation with a team will not be permitted without all the forms being signed. Red = parent signature, yellow = student signature.

Freshman Overnight Retreat
Mandatory event for the Class of 2029
RSVP link will be closer to event date
About the Retreat
This kick-off to your son’s four years at Jesuit is a highlight of Freshman year. Your son will spend the retreat with his Senior Big Brother, who will serve as a guide and mentor for your son as he begins his journey at Jesuit. Our newest marauders will be welcomed into the brotherhood, build camaraderie with their new classmates, and learn about campus life at Jesuit. Special parent programming is also a part of the retreat on Saturday morning. Because the experience of the Freshman Retreat is so important for new students, participation in the entire retreat is MANDATORY for all Freshmen.
Every freshman chooses an Arts elective
The first year experience
Select your passion
Whether it’s on stage in our drama productions, in the community as a part of the 12 choral and instrumental ensembles, or in our studio art, film and photography classes, the arts offerings at Jesuit allow our students to develop their God-given talents with their confidence and means of self-expression to be successful in life beyond high school. More than 70% of our students choose to continue pursuing their artistic ambitions, inside and outside of the classroom, beyond the one-year requirement.
When and how do you select your Arts elective?
During the enrollment process, our incoming freshman can rank their preferred electives. If enrollment is completed by the deadline, they’ll get a preliminary schedule during the Welcome Event.
See the Course Catalog for a full description of all the classes.
Big Brothers
Mentor and friend
When you start your freshman year at Jesuit you are partnered with a senior. During orientation, he will help guide you through everything from lockers to mass. A good mentor can help your transition to your new school by connecting you and helping you navigate.
