Not only as a sophomore counselor, but also as a leader in the arrival of Jesuit's up and coming cultural committee for both parents and students.  Mr. Ornelas is also the current Director of Diversity.

After a two-year break, Prom finally returned to Jesuit. On Saturday, April 9th, Jesuit and Ursuline took the Dallas Market Center by storm, turning the venue into a crazy, lit movie from 7 PM to 10:30 PM. Overall, it was a huge success, and it is safe to say that students had a great time. The night kicked off at...
