From Jesuit High School
Jesuit provides a dynamic environment for academic, spiritual, and social growth. For over 50 years, Jesuit High School challenges students from all backgrounds and beliefs with a rigorous academic program that prepares them for college and builds a foundation for life.
From his first steps on campus, a Jesuit student is challenged in the classroom, in interest clubs, through the arts and on the playing field; inspired through service opportunities; and supported and encouraged during liturgy and retreats. These combined experiences contribute to great academic, personal and spiritual growth building the whole person with a solid foundation.
From its historical origins, Ignatian philosophy always has insisted that students educated within these Jesuit principles not only use this education to better their own lives but also must strive to better the lives of others. Men of Jesuit. "Men for Others."

The best parts about Jesuit High School is the "brotherhood" that they try to create for the students. They do a good job with this by giving us the opportunity to bond with one another on religious retreats. These retreats are some of the best experiences of my life. The teachers are second to none being the best teachers that I have ever had. This makes the overall education incredible. The sports and their facilities at Jesuit are also amazing, especially the baseball facilities. Although there is this good side of the school, there is the bad side. The head administration is some of the worst I have ever had to deal with due to their strict rules that they always abide by even when it is hurting absolutely no one. They also do not listen to us most, if not all of the time. Whenever we try to describe a problem that we have, they always brush us off and basically tell us that we are wrong and they are right. Although there is this problem, I am still grateful to attend Jesuit.
I believe Jesuit prides itself on its strong sense of brotherhood. And, for the most part, that is true. Waking up early at 4 am for wrestling practice, attending clubs and classes, I think these experiences would have made me “brothers” with the guys just as Jesuit wanted. But I wasn’t like them. For a latino gay man such as myself, the white and straight majority has been isolating more than a few times.
I remember there was a speaker from the senior grade talking about the struggles his family faced to get into the US. It was a very heartfelt moment. The next day, I walk down the halls and I see him yelling at his friends who made a joke about him entering the country illegally. Another time, I asked my classmates, “why didn’t you like our english teacher last year?” They responded “he was too feminine.”
To be clear, the school isn’t bad. It's amazing academically with an abundance of resources. But their “brotherhood” only comes if they consider you part of the family.

Jesuit has three sides in my opinion, the smart nerds of the schools, the spoiled brats that don't take school too seriously and then the student body who try really hard in both extracurriculars and academics. When you're in the student body, Jesuit consumes your whole life and I think that will have a bad integration in the real world. This is because work will one day replace school and the gapping hole of school activities once was I believe people will replace with more work. Therefore the people in the student body are becoming too consumed by school activities and become more susceptible to become workaholics. The spoiled kids of the school are just future frat bros not much to say there. But the nerds of the school are significantly less recognized and are often put in the background of school thought. When the school decides to fund things in the school they fund things that will bring more parents to the school, not what will benefit the students the most.
