Jesuit High School is committed to maintaining a safe school environment for all of our students. We employ a full-time Campus Safety team and have an on-site School Resource Officer. Jesuit regularly takes proactive steps to protect our students in order to guard their safety and well-being. These include mandatory background checks of employees and the enactment of a Youth Protection Policy. All faculty, staff, coaches, and priests who work at Jesuit complete a program which trains us to recognize and prevent abuse of children. Volunteers and part-time staff who have any contact with students are required to complete this training as well.
Jesuit High School does not tolerate discrimination, harassment, abuse, or power-based personal violence. As mandatory reporters, any school employee who knows or suspects that a student has been subjected to abuse is required to inform appropriate authorities.
Each school year, we educate students regarding the reporting of power-based personal violence and harm, encouraging them that if they "see something, say something." We offer programs such as Sources of Strength to teach students to combat power-based personal violence, including sexual assault, dating violence, and bullying.
Each student is assigned to a trained JHS counselor to whom they can report abuse or any other concern with an expectation of privacy. We publicize a state hotline which students can call to report abuse, bullying, or other types of harm in a confidential, anonymous fashion.
At Jesuit High School, we continually seek to implement effective, research-based programs to protect our students, and we insist that students and staff treat one another not only with respect, but as holy beings made in God’s image.
JHS Sexual Harassment Complaint & Investigation Procedures are available upon request by emailing Steve DeKlotz, Vice Principal of Student Life.
