Why Jesuit...? When a young man enters Jesuit High School, he becomes part of a global community. Within the United States alone there are 58 Jesuit high schools and 28 Jesuit colleges and universities with a goal to educate leaders of competence, conscience, and compassion – Men for Others – who strive to build a better world. The journey begins as our community welcomes Freshmen and transfer students into the family during orientation.
