  Jesuit, unlike many high schools, offers a compressive experience abroad for service. This summer I had the pleasure of going on the "Encuentro" exchange student and service program to Guadalajara, Mexico. This trip was something special and an incredibly unique experience. It was very eye-opening and changed my view on many things. Preface Encuentro's biggest difference compared to other trips is...

Jesuit's Class of 2023 commenced their first day of...
For the past 4 years, we have seen an explosion of political violence across the United States. Violent attacks against our public institutions, government officials, or opposing members of society have degraded stability in our nation. The insurrection of January 6th, attacks on publicly elected officials, and cancel culture have in my opinion proved poisonous to the United States....
After Speaker Pelosi's Taipei visit, the CSIS commenced a series of war games to simulate a potential war between the US and China over Taiwan.
