Jesuit strives to challenge thought and cultivate knowledge over various academic areas. However, this academic growth is not strictly confined to the classroom, evident through the many clubs Jesuit has to offer, such as the Quiz Bowl, where students apply their knowledge outside of the classroom setting and continue their intellectual growth.

As 7:00 PM rolled around, many students from Jesuit, Ursuline, and Hockaday made their way to the Terry Center for the annual Freshman Mixer.
