ABOUT JESUIT DALLAS

Founded in 1942, Jesuit College Preparatory School of Dallas is a Catholic, private, independent, all-boys high school. Following the 500 year-old Jesuit tradition of St. Ignatius of Loyola, Jesuit Dallas strives to form young men into leaders who are open to growth, intellectually competent, committed to working for justice, religious, loving, and physically fit. Currently, Jesuit enrolls over 1,100 boys from 170 different middle schools.

Jesuit Dallas Athletics has claimed 129 team state championships dating back to 1954. Most of the titles were won as members of the Texas Christian Interscholastic League (TCIL), a precursor to the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools (TAPPS) of which Jesuit was a member until 2000. In 2003, Jesuit Dallas, along with Strake Jesuit (Houston), became the first private schools to be admitted to the University Interscholastic League (UIL), which serves as the athletic governing body for public and charter schools in Texas. Since joining the league in 2004, Jesuit has captured 72 UIL district championships.

In 2010, the Jesuit Dallas soccer team became the first private school team in the history of the UIL to capture a state championship. The Ranger baseball team captured its first UIL state title in 2016 and soccer added a second UIL crown in 2017. Jesuit rugby won Texas Rugby Union championships in 2001 and 2010, while the lacrosse program has captured four Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) titles (2016, 2017, 2021, 2022). Jesuit hockey will begin the 2023-24 season as the five-time reigning Texas Amateur Hockey Association (TAHA) Division I Pure State Champions, while the crew program routinely ranks as one of the strongest in the country.

HEAD COACH CHRIS HILL Coach Hill enters his 16th season coaching Jesuit Dallas Basketball and has continued the strong tradition of Ranger success on the hardwood.

Last season, Jesuit Dallas earned the 14th playoff appearance in Hill’s 15 seasons, closing out the 202223 campaign with a 19-13 record alongside a 10-6 mark in district play. Caleb Steger ’25 was named the District Newcomer of the Year following a stellar debut season for the Blue and Gold while seniors Dylan Gibbons ’23 and Tai Kryger ’23 were named to the all-district first team.

Hill led the Rangers to their first regional tournament appearance in program history in 2017. The following season, Jesuit upset state-ranked No. 9 Spring Dekaney to earn the program’s first regional championship berth in 2018 before returning to the regional final in 2021.

Under Hill’s tenure, Jesuit has captured three district championships, earning the first district crown in 2010 before repeating the feat in 2014 and 2019. Hill enters the 2023-24 season with a 323-155 record as the head coach at Jesuit and a .726 winning percentage against district opponents. Hill captured his 200th career coaching victory on November 24, 2017 when Jesuit Dallas defeated Lee (Ala.) H.S., 68-60, and then earned his 300th career victory on January 25, 2022 when Jesuit Dallas defeated J.J. Pearce in overtime, 51-48 at Walsh Gym. Coach Hill graduated from Trinity University in 2002. A four-year member of a Tigers’ basketball program, Hill helped capture the Southern College Athletic Conference (SCAC) title in 2000. After receiving his bachelor’s degree in communications, Hill began his professional career at the University of Dallas as the assistant men’s basketball coach, head women’s basketball coach, head men’s and women’s tennis coach, and assistant women’s lacrosse coach. After three years with the Crusaders’ athletic department, Hill returned to Trinity. From 2005-08, Hill helped the Tigers to a pair of NCAA Division III Tournament appearances before beginning his stint at Jesuit Dallas.

A graduate from Tom C. Clark High School, Hill and the Cougars reached the UIL 5A Regional Semifinal his senior year. During his post-graduate year, Hill played at Suffield Academy in Suffield, Connecticut, advancing to the New England Prep League Championship Tournament semifinals.

Now, I finally have the chance to partake in it. When playing basketball as a child, I would have never believed...I would be playing at Jesuit.

As I watched more basketball stars, I became fascinated with the sport and the team culture. My favorite basketball memory is...playing in a basketball game in a cast with a broken left arm when I was younger. If you could have dinner with any historical figure, who would it be?
