Spirituality
A Jesuit education is defined by the concept of cura personalis, or care of the whole person. We believe that our students’ spiritual life is just as important as their academic, athletic and co-curricular pursuits.
Athletics
Athletics
Our athletic program as a co-curricular activity is an integral part of the total education and growth experience at Jesuit High School. Athletics is designed to affirm and promote Ignatian values and engage student-athletes fully in mind, body, and spirit.
Our Community
Community
What makes the Jesuit community special? We believe the answer lies in how we support one another in all that we do--from cheering at football games to reaching out to those in need in our local area through the Christmas Food Drive. In everything, we lean on another in hope and faith.

Mission Statement

Jesuit High School is a Catholic, college-preparatory school in the Jesuit tradition. It serves students of all religious faiths.

Jesuit education fosters the harmonious development of the adolescent's gifts: spiritual, religious, intellectual, physical, emotional, and aesthetic. Jesuit High School hopes to accomplish this development by demonstrating a personal concern for individuals, a special concern for the poor, an articulate wisdom, enthusiasm, and a sense of community. In so doing, the school hopes to graduate leaders who are committed to serve God and their fellow men and women. Our hope is that our students develop a profound sense of justice founded in love, i.e., leaders who are "men and women for others."
