Jordan has had a great start to his Jesuit career. He has already been granted an offer and is now committed to...
Trepidation, fear, and anxiety are usually felt when meeting movie stars, with questions regarding what to say or how to act immediately filling one’s head.

So how does this seemingly impossible equation produce one of the most decorated trial lawyers of today? Melsheimer not only met these obstacles, but improbably, soared to new heights. Thomas...
Before he played at Brown University and with the Mavericks this summer, Steven Spieth '13 was just a regular student here at Jesuit. Just like his brother Jordan Spieth '11, he's a world class athlete, and this summer, he's been hanging around campus honing in his skills. So, I was able to sit down with him and ask him some...
A good teacher isn’t hard to find. A good teacher understands the class, explains course material, teaches in an effective way, and connects with students.
