I never expected to be the lead teacher for 24 middle schoolers at 17 years old.  The Breakthrough Collaborative made this happen. This summer, I worked as a Teaching Fellow at Breakthrough Fort Worth.  In this article, I want to share with you one of the most impactful and rewarding experiences of my life. So what is this amazing program...
As the bus skittered to a halt, the student’s eyes fling open, awoken from his nap. “We’re here,” he realized, as he stood up with 20 of his Jesuit brothers and faculty, all of them filing off the bus. In front of them, a sidewalk ran up to a worn-out, aged school that doubled as an orphanage for girls, ages ranging from...
Last Wednesday, Jesuit hosted its third annual  "Be the Match" Bone Marrow Registry Donor Drive, in which potential bone marrow donors are found and connected to patients in need of a life-saving marrow transplant. Be the Match compiles a database of potential donors of bone marrow to cancer patients. Each year at Jesuit, about 200 students volunteer to be potential donors. Students...

One student who has answered this call to service is Sam Henrion '21, the Jesuit sophomore who built a "Little Library" for The Notre Dame School this past...
Mission Waco, the host organization of a poverty simulation in Waco, defines poverty as “the condition of having no money, goods, or support with NO power or access” and believes that poverty simulation creates compassion, compassion which “brings new insight and purpose to life which is to hunger and thirst for justice and righteousness.”   On the afternoon of Thursday, February...

Thus, one of the many merits of attending Dallas Jesuit is that...
It's 7:30 am. Mr. DuRoss rapidly walks up to the student's room and ferociously bangs on their door. The sleepy students slowly proceed to wake up, brush their teeth, and drag themselves to breakfast. After entering the kitchen, the students crack some eggs into a pan and prepare themselves some PB&J's, creating an exquisite and healthy meal to start off...
It's nighttime and the city lights dimly illuminate the mountains as the plane descends.  Rushing through Customs, the officer stamps the student's passport to mark the beginning of their international journey.  For seven days over Thanksgiving break, eleven adventuresome Jesuit students embarked on an exchange trip to Guadalajara, Mexico for the first time in nearly a decade. In Guadalajara,...
