Recently, Jesuit’s theater department has gained a new green screen room as part of the school's ongoing...
Sports at Jesuit are synonymous with success.  In recent years, Jesuit’s varsity soccer, rugby, and crew teams have all won state championships.  Our lacrosse team has made it to the state final, and many other teams have made deep playoff runs.  In addition, our debate team has won the state championship the past two years. Unfortunately, in recent years this...
In nearly every sport, there is some type of all-star team comprised of the league's best players, but what about band?

Washington auditioned with hopes of being cast in the Jesuit Spring One Acts. The group of talented individuals was narrowed down in a draft between directors. They worked hard rehearsing for hours after school in order to prepare...
Most concert bands practice months to put on a performance, but the Texas Private School Music Educators' Association (TPSMEA) All-State Band is not like most bands.
