Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

For 475 years, Jesuit education has formed intellectual, moral, and spiritual people toward lives of solidarity and advocacy (i.e., people with and for others) across the globe. The Office of DEI invites the entire JHS community to engage academically and socially to better understand themselves and their local and global context within a social justice lens. Using the Ignatian Pedagogical Paradigm, a teaching model to listen, learn, reflect, and act, the intention is to form conscious, critical, and compassionate leaders.
