In the spring semester of last year, Jesuit students learned about the new Stage & Film area and science lab rooms. Many were excited to hear about the expansion of the Jesuit Film Program through a new film class along with a new editing room furnished with state-of-the-art equipment. After a trial run last year, Jesuit decided to have the majority of...
This past week I reached out to both of my science teachers and asked them how they were doing during these unprecedented times. This has been a huge time of adjustment where many feel overwhelmed due to rapid changes in their work or daily life. Fortunately, there’s always light in the dark! So, here’s my science teachers’, Mrs. Applegate...
This past summer marked a momentous stepping-stone in the newly founded Engineering Society's history. The members of the club began not 1, not 2, but 3 Summer Projects. The 1st of which is one that will hopefully be around Jesuit for many years to come: a scale model of Jesuit’s campus. In preparation for accomplishing this tremendous feat, the Engineering...

In addition, the program offers juniors the ability to participate in a clinical rotation program...
Recently, the Jesuit Engineering Society embarked on a field trip to UT Southwestern Medical Center. Club moderator Mrs. Julie Carver and 15 other students toured the labs and interacted with physicians. Biomedical engineering is one of the main components that the Engineering Society attempts to address, so the trip was a great way to explore that particular type of...
Surrounded by hysteria, the police report to the crime scene, sirens blaring and flashing. At the scene lies a body, bruised and battered, blood splattered across the brick of the alleyway. Working like bees, forensic scientists surround the scene, investigating blood splatters, collecting fingerprints, and taking samples. These scientists play a pivotal role in discovering what happened at the scene, able...
