Here, the school community honors our patroness, Mary,
Our Blessed Mother, with the traditional May crowning.
This photo represents Jesuit’s spiritual side. Throughout the school
year, Jesuit provides Blue Jays the opportunities to practice
and deepen their faith through daily Masses, retreats,
and Eucharistic adoration, to name a few.

Blue Jays are constantly tested inside and outside the classroom.
Regardless of the event, Jays give their best effort. Here, Jesuit’s
M.C.R.O.T.C. program challenges students to show how fit they really are.

Jesuit’s Philelectic Society offers Blue Jays a chance to express their talents
and to appreciate the art of the theatre. This year’s productions of Amadeus and Pippin
were huge successes. However, expressing artistic talents is not limited to the philelectic society. Calliope, Jesuit’s literary magazine, and Jesuit’s Art Club are just a few of the organizations that offer students an opportunity to show off their skills.

Since the first semester, seniors Trey Tebbe (left) and James Swift
have been going at it in their “Where’s Fr. Saunders?” challenge.
The Daily Wild Photo periodically has chronicled the search.
During the lunch period Wednesday, just before the seniors end their
regularly scheduled classes, James presents Fr. Saunders to a stunned Trey.

Our senior duo’s not-so-subtle search for the ever-so-elusive Fr. Saunders
finally came to a successful end just before the seniors’ exams. 
This series along with a number of our corny headlines and pictures displays
a lighter side of Jesuit often missed by casual observers. 

Blue Jay Spirit grows with the energy and the interest students place
in their academic and athletic endeavors. Lunch time pep rallies,
like the one pictured above, stoke the Spirit. The true test is in the final results. 
A quick look over this past school year reveals that academically,
Jesuit placed 38 National Merit Semi-Finalist. Athletically,
the Jays took state in two sports-- swimming and tennis--
and earned state runner-up distinction in wrestling and baseball.
The Blue Jay Spirit is alive and well at Carrollton and Banks.

Blue Jays really connect with their teachers. Students recognize that, in the end, each faculty member has the students' best interest in mind and appreciate their teachers' efforts. In some cases, as shown here, some kids come to idolize their teachers.

With Jesuit’s unique lunch schedule, where the entire school body eats at the same time, a variety of activities occurs in Traditions Courtyard year round to entertain the community and to foster school spirit. From Brown Bag Concerts to Welcome and Homecoming Weeks, Blue Jays are at ease meeting or making friends. Above, students participated in the Halloween Costume Contest and competed for the best spooky looks.

The tradition of morning assemblies on Mondays and Fridays
give Blue Jays the opportunity to prepare for upcoming events
and also to honor those individuals, teams, and organizations
who have earned special recognition. Assemblies also allow
the student body to get ready for special extended events.
At this assembly, students, under the careful guidance of Santa Claus
  (senior Chaz Simms),wrap senior John Tortorich to kick off the
Toys for Tots Drive and to celebrate the Christmas season.
Many annual events, such as the Thanksgiving Drive and
the Mission Drive, open their campaigns at morning assembly.
