• What is a Jesuit Education?
• Profile of an Ignatian Educator

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."

Inspired by the four-century tradition of St. Ignatius, the school strives to instill five characteristics in its students: The goal is to educate students to be open to growth, intellectually competent, religious, loving, and committed to doing justice. As articulated by the faculty in the "Profile of a Jesuit High School Graduate at Graduation," these precepts guide curriculum development and teaching at Jesuit High School.

Today the sun rises on the buildings and fields
On the school I love and its Jesuit shield.
We will honor its past - its future we hold,
Age Quod Agis for our green and gold.

With the gift of Ignatius and the profile for life
Excellence in the classroom, on the field we will strive
We uphold the tradition with each day anew,
With the Cross in our sight guiding all that we do.

We uphold the tradition with each day anew
Men and Women for Others – Jesuit High School

Age Quod Agis - "Do Well Whatever You Do"

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 increase help seeking behaviors and promote connections between peers and caring adults.

Each student is assigned to a 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.

Jesuit High School admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to all schools. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin or disability which can be reasonably accommodated in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, financial aid programs and athletic and other school administered programs.
