[edit] About

Jesuit High School is a four-year college preparatory conducted by the Society of Jesus (Jesuits). Admission is selective. The process consists of students applying during the 8th grade, having their application approved by the Office of Admissions, and then being interviewed by a faculty member of the school. Approximately 60% of the applicant pool is admitted each year. [2]

Jesuit is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and the Western Catholic Education Association (WCEA). The current term of the school's WASC accreditation is six years, which is set to expire in 2014. Additionally, Jesuit is a member of the College Board, the Jesuit Secondary Education Association and the National Association for College Admission Counseling.

[edit] Campus

Each building on the campus has been named after one of the eight North American Martyrs. They are the school's patron saints. The largest building — the Jesuit Residence and Main Office — is named Brébeuf Hall.

[edit] Sports and Activities

Jesuit offers a multitude co-curricular activities, including: The Plank (the Jesuit High School newspaper), The Cutlass (the school yearbook), JHS.net (student maintained website), Speech and Debate, The National Robotics Team, Drama (Theater), Future Business Leaders of America, Mock Trial, Moot Court, Drumline, Young Democrats and Republicans, and many more clubs and activities.

The Jesuit Robotics Team recently won a collegiate underwater robotics competition in St. Johns, Canada, beating out such colleges as M.I.T. and Texas A&M. The robotics team is a mini-company that, up until recently, was completely funded by student efforts. However, with the victory came some monetary support from the school and greater recognition of the internationally recognized program. The team is composed of nearly 20 individuals from all year levels, each with specific tasks that helps streamline the design and construction of the robot. Jesuit Robotics
