In fact, the only reason I joined the newspaper junior year was because Dr. Degen asked...
We know how to recognize these young men with those famous nametags, but who really is the freshman class of 2016 and what do the school’s administrators and teachers think of the class as a whole? The first six weeks are in the books for Jesuit’s freshmen class of 2016. For some, it’s been a rather easy transition with many...
On March 20, 2023, a group of exchange students from the Instituto de Ciencias in Guadalajara, Mexico. Upon arrival, the visiting students were warmly greeted by their Jesuit host brothers. The Guadalajara group stayed in Dallas from March 20 to April 15. During their stay, the Guadalajara students shared classes, extracurriculars, and sports with their host brothers, as well...
