At a competitive private school like Jesuit, academics are essentially everything. It’s a place that is designed to instill its students with principles that guide the next generation of leaders into performing at a high-level. With academics like no other, you wouldn’t be surprised to see a Jesuit student recognized for his educational achievements.
Jesuit changed things up a little bit this year to celebrate the students’ outstanding academic achievements as AP Scholars and National Merit Contenders, hosting a small, socially distant ceremony on October 26. Even though the class of 2020 was not here to attend, many did win awards, with some becoming National AP Scholars. By performing consistently well on their AP exams or scoring in the top 1% of the nation on the PSAT, Jesuit students really did make their academic mark this year.
