Mission Statement 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." School Motto: Age Quod Agis - "Do Well Whatever You Do"

8 Profile of the Jesuit High School Graduate 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 the Jesuit Graduate at Graduation," these precepts guide curriculum development and teaching at Jesuit High School. OPEN TO GROWTH: Jesuit High School students at the time of graduation have matured emotionally, intellectually, physically, socially, and religiously to a level that reflects some intentional responsibility for their own growth. In the tradition of Jesuit High School s motto Age Quod Agis ( Do well whatever you do ), the graduate is beginning to reach out in his or her development, seeking opportunities to stretch one s mind, imagination, feelings, and religious consciousness. INTELLECTUALLY COMPETENT: The Jesuit High School graduate will exhibit both the academic aptitude for higher education and a variety of intellectual skills that go beyond college entrance requirements. The student is gaining an appreciation for learning in general and for one s aesthetic and academic accomplishments. The student is also developing habits of intellectual inquiry in quest of religious truth and an informed response to issues of social injustice. RELIGIOUS: The Jesuit High School graduate will have a basic knowledge of the major doctrines and practices of the Catholic Church. Having been introduced to Ignatian spirituality, the graduate will have examined his or her own religious feelings and beliefs with a view to choosing a fundamental orientation toward God and establishing a relationship with religious tradition and/or community. Respectful of the conscience and religious background of the individual, this also applies to the non-catholic graduate of a Jesuit high school. LOVING: The Jesuit High School graduate is continuing to form his or her own identity. He or she is moving beyond self-interest or self-centeredness in close relationships. The graduate is beginning to be able to risk some deeper levels of relationship in which one can disclose self and accept the mystery of another person and cherish that person. COMMITTED TO DOING JUSTICE: The Jesuit High School student at graduation has acquired considerable knowledge of the many needs of local, national, and global communities and is preparing for the day when he or she will take a place in these communities as a competent, concerned and responsible member. The graduate has been inspired to develop the awareness and skills necessary to live in a global society as a person for and with others.
