A Letter From the President I n May, we welcomed 268 members of the Class of 2018 to our valued alumni community.

This fall, our Jesuit graduates will attend top colleges and universities across the nation including Boston College, California State University, Sacramento, Chapman, Gonzaga, Loyola Marymount, UC Berkeley, UC Davis, UCLA, UC San Diego, University of Notre Dame, University of San Francisco, University of Santa Clara, USC, Texas Christian, Stanford, Yale, US Air Force Academy and US Military Academy – Army. We are so proud of these young men as they step into the world as Men for Others.

Throughout this coming summer, campus will remain vibrant with more than 1,500 students participating in our Summer

School for grades 9-12, Academics Plus for Boys grades 5-8, Sports Camps for grades 1-12, and special Academy Camps for grades 4-9. Within these experiences, we may just inspire future Marauders who see the value in our education and enrichment programs.

All of this activity will occur while classrooms on the second floor of Garnier will be refreshed, and the plans for renovating our Gym will be finalized. The Gym truly is our “living room” where we gather for our large all-school events: games, rallies, Masses, and Awards convocation, to name a few. The Barry Gym was built in 1968 and is now in need of new lighting, an updated sound system, air conditioning, a new floor and a general refresh. This renovation will be done in stages, and the air conditioning will be the first component to be completed. Once again, we count on your generosity in supporting Jesuit and all we do to make our school the best place for all of our students. If you’re visiting campus, please ‘pardon our progress’ and be sure to read about these and other campus improvements in the

feature “Building Forward” on page 5 in this issue of Jesuit Magazine.

As we bring this academic year to a successful close, I want to thank you for the opportunity to serve as your Interim President this year. Jesuit High School is a very special place where students are given the opportunity to become the best person they can be, and to grow to be Men for Others. Please know that the Jesuit High School community and each of you will continue to be in my prayers as we advance the important mission of our school, together:

Jesuit High School of Sacramento is a Roman Catholic college preparatory dedicated to forming competent young men into conscientious leaders in compassionate service to others for the greater glory of God. Sincerely,

Support our Marauders “We say farewell to the Class of 2018. When I think about this

class over their time at Jesuit, the

word courage comes to mind. We

always challenge our young men to move out of their comfort zones.

What we are asking of them is to find the courage to enter into the

unknown and the scary by trusting in themselves. The Class of 2018 is a group of students who embraced this challenge and moved into uncertainty with grace and

confidence. They tried new and

different things, they went further

than they thought they could, and they discovered that they were

children of God with the power

to change the world for the better.

We are proud of the class of 2018 and wish them the best on their journey ahead.”

-Michael Wood ‘99, Principal

This May, the Class of 2018 crossed the stage at Memorial Auditorium – the 52nd graduating class of Jesuit High School. Tassels moved from right to left, and pride was up to the rafters of the historical Memorial Auditorium. These young men, like the generations before them, are truly class acts – compassionate, engaged, intellectual and generous. And they have YOU to thank for their exceptional Jesuit education.

This day of celebration was made possible by many: community support, the hard work of our Seniors, the dedication of our faculty and staff, the loving encouragement of parents, and the donations to the Annual Fund from alums, parents and friends.

FUNDING DREAMS: In keeping with the teachings of St. Ignatius, our time-honored tradition is to ensure that all qualified young men who desire a Jesuit education are able to receive this life-changing experience. The Annual Fund helps bridge the gap between what a family is able to pay for tuition and the full-cost of the Jesuit education we provide.

GIFTS TO THE ANNUAL FUND SUPPORTS: Your generosity helps cover school operating costs, including: • Rigorous college preparatory curriculum taught by a committed and innovative faculty • Campus Ministry and retreat programs • Christian Service and immersion opportunities • College and Career Counseling Center and Academic Support Center • Athletic programs and intramural teams • Visual and Performing Arts Program • Co-Curricular Activities – ranging from international champion Robotics team to Latin Club to Black Student Union and more

YOU MAKE THE DIFFERENCE: We depend on benefactors – alumni, parents, grandparents, and friends – to help support our day-to-day operating costs, and ensure that students and families dreaming of a Jesuit education can achieve it. As we near the end of our fiscal year on June 30, can we count on YOU to help support the next generations of Marauders?

HOW TO DONATE: Make your tax-deductible gift today online or by contacting us.

WELCOME Class of

Will the Class of 2022 please rise?

Their exciting journey will begin when these future Marauders – hailing from more than 70 different schools, and more than 90 zip codes – arrive for Freshman Orientation on Thursday, August 16, 2018. The Jesuit High School community is blessed to welcome these truly diverse and talented young men!

As we begin the 2018-2019 school year, we welcome these future torchbearers of the Jesuit High tradition with a singular vision: that we form these competent young men into conscientious leaders who are committed to compassionate service to others for the Greater Glory of God. We look forward to this class enhancing our school community, and in return offering exciting new improvements to enhance their education and spiritual growth.

2022

Beyond our brick and mortar, it’s our faculty and staff who make Jesuit High School an amazing educational experience. They are the pillars modeling what it means to live a life of service to others, and challenge our students daily to see God in all things.

We continue to develop these young men through a wide array of learning opportunities, support and resources to foster growth spiritually, academically, physically and socially. As a Marauder, they will find support every step of the way to reach higher and to develop into confident, accomplished young adults who will benefit from the tools, resources, and faith instilled during their time with us to navigate all of life’s challenges.

Whether on the field, in the classroom, on a retreat, in the Chapel reflecting on the Lord’s work in our lives, or doing community service – a Jesuit education is the foundation of a life dedicated to the Greater Glory of God. Welcome, Class of 2022!

Jesuit Media: Designing the Future Media is embedded in our students’ daily lives and, more so than ever, serves as a ubiquitous form of self-expression and communication. Our students are not only consumers of commercial television, film, new media, and video games, but producers of content that they distribute through all kinds of unique platforms. It is our mission and obligation to provide all the necessary resources so that our students graduate with a media literacy that will serve them in their personal and professional lives.

Media literacy at Jesuit High School means forming men of character who are equipped with the skills to consume the various forms of media critically and responsibly. Developing a critical filter that sees the world through a lens of compassion, honesty, possibility, and hope is a goal of our media studies program.

Our graduates will be producers of media

JUNE 2018

JESUIT HIGH SCHOOL

regardless of their academic, professional, or personal situation; producing media with integrity and engaging in the world thoughtfully is essential for our students as they enact real and moral change in the world.

Jesuit’s mission is to inspire confidence in our students so that they can be bold—so that they are not on the fringes of technological innovation, but at the very heart of it. The Digital Media Center positions our students to seamlessly transition to cutting edge collegiate digital labs and beyond, all the way to the most innovative Silicon Valley workspaces. In the modern work environment, an individual’s currency is his or her aptitude with technology, and because we desire our students to be competent and creative Men for Others in all fields, we must equip them with all the relevant tools to be just that.

As Ignatian educators, we continuously strive to provide our students with resources that foster individual growth, creative expression, critical thinking, and innovation. The addition of the state of the art Digital Media Center to Jesuit High School has allowed our students to become fully trained with industry standard equipment and software. We are now able to expand our programs in photography, filmmaking, desktop publishing, and design. It allows us to keep up with the extraordinary creativity of our students, but the space also challenges them to grow as artists and creators and broaden their skills. Updated technology, a center conducive to individual and collaborative work, and a dedicated studio space puts our lab in line with industry standards, empowering our students to be impactful agents of change, fully prepared to be leaders in the digital arts and sciences.

THE TIME HAS COME! BARRY GYM RENOVATION PROJECT

If you build it, they will play. In August 1963, Jesuit first grew roots at 1200 Jacob Lane – the realization of a long-held dream by many in the community who desired a Jesuit education for their sons. Buoyed by the generosity of the community, these humble beginnings welcomed 90 Freshman students, a faculty of seven (five Jesuits and two laypersons), and a few initial structures: Administration Hall, Jesuit Residence, Phase 1 of the Library, and buildings C, E, F and G. In those early days, without a gym or ball fields, every game was a road trip. And without locker rooms, classroom doors were left open in self-defense. Steve Ruggiero ‘67 remembers: “We changed into PE clothes in the physics lab. There weren’t any showers, so even on the hottest days we just put our clothes back on and went to the next class.” He added with a laugh, “Let’s just say it was pretty easy to tell who had already been to PE as the day wore on.”

Originally built in 1968, the Gym has served as the focal point of our campus for decades, and is used by more than 20,000 people each year. In addition to hosting our sports teams and PE classes, the Gym has been the site of countless and memorable events: incoming Freshman family interviews, schoolwide liturgies, President’s Club Dinners, Mother/Son and Father/ Son masses, school assemblies, PACE Gala and Auction, Spring Fling, Baccalaureate and Graduation, student dances, Boosters Crab Feed, Loyola Guild Mother/Son Dance, Open House, award evenings, Academics Plus, and so much more.

Since 1968, the Gym has remained largely unchanged with the same walls, bleachers, lighting, and cooling system. Only the basketball floor has been updated. And, without air conditioning, indoor temperatures from May through September can rise well above 90 degrees and exceed comfort and safety standards for our student athletes and guests who use the Gym.

HELP US USHER IN A NEW ERA FOR JESUIT ATHLETICS AND EVENTS

In order to address these issues, our Board of Trustees has agreed that a renovation project is essential. Plans will include air conditioning, flooring, lighting, sound and media technology, reconfigured basketball hoops, hand railings for the bleachers, and general aesthetic improvements. We are currently in the design phase with architects, and have begun fundraising efforts. We are asking for your support to help us renew this time-honored building that has served us well, and through your support, will become an even greater destination for every Marauder and the community we serve!

Empowering Men for Others Political Discussion and Advocacy at Jesuit

The Church imagines Christian Service as having two feet, both necessary for walking: charity and justice. As an outgrowth of that model and in line with our mission as a Jesuit school, the Christian Service Office has devoted resources this year to developing more robust advocacy programming for the JHS community.

After attending a leadership summit for high school students in February, students formed “PDAC,” the Political Discussion and Advocacy Club, as a space where they could bring forth issues of concern to them, listen to and learn from each other across differences of perspective, reflect on the Church’s teaching on the issues, and then, when appropriate, take action. Their weekly meetings are a spirited sharing of ideas.

Over the course of the year, students visited federal and state representatives, attended Sacramento City Council meetings, contacted Sacramento County officials, and delivered more than 1000 postcards on issues the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops identified as legislative priorities. We look forward to continuing this empowering work for justice in the years to come.

“My faith calls me very strongly to be

an active voice for issues of social justice.

Being able to use my voice to advocate for those [whose voices are not heard]

encapsulates, for me, what Catholic life is

all about. This year, I’ve learned that being in my position is a great asset and that I

can be a voice that helps to create change.”

Austin Sutter

“Advocacy makes me feel as if I’m actually doing something productive for society instead of feeling like a helpless high

schooler. Through PDAC, I feel like I’m

growing as a Man for Others because I’m actually helping change happen instead

of standing on the sidelines. Being active

in the political environment seems almost

like a second Christian Service; I’m getting something done for the betterment of

society as I advocate for social justice.”

Joseph Sison

“I believe that advocacy is an integral part

of being a Man for Others. One person often cannot solve big issues [on his own], but when you use advocacy you can connect

with a massive movement to have your voice be heard by those who make change.”

“PDAC has taught me how to stay informed and how to not come to

quick conclusions when I hear only small snippets of information from

one particular source. Advocacy has

empowered me to make informed choices and form my own opinion, not simply regurgitate what others have to say.”

The Kairos Experience Faith, Brotherhood, Acceptance

Over the course of my four years at Jesuit, and through my experiences on Kairos, I have grown into the man I’ve always wanted to be. But it wasn’t easy. When I first set foot on the Freshman quad four years ago, I knew no one. As the only kid from my middle school, I had to start from scratch and make new friends. Except I never knew how to truly be myself around others, and I spent a great deal of my time at Jesuit alone, hiding behind my good grades and my “loner” persona.

During those first few years at Jesuit, “Brotherhood” seemed no more real to me than the fantasies I read as a kid — desirable, but distant and imaginary. It wasn’t until I went on Kairos 138 that I realized what true Brotherhood was. On Kairos, I opened up about my insecurities, my shyness, my social anxiety, and problems like my parents’ divorce. I formed real relationships with those in my group, and I realized I was truly loved and accepted for who I was. I had such a profound experience on K138 that I decided to lead Junior Kairos. In my talk, “Know Yourself,” I discussed how I came to know the real me by removing the masks I’d been wearing my whole life…

Becoming closer to myself, God, and to my brothers over these past four years has been a privilege and a blessing, and I cannot express how grateful I am to Jesuit and to the Kairos program for guiding me along the way. Through Kairos, I have built lifelong friendships and a Brotherhood that I will take with me to college at Stanford and beyond. I will continue to Live the Fourth by spreading the same love, acceptance, and Brotherhood which helped me realize who I truly am.

Austin Weideman

‘18

“Before, I had believed the lie I kept telling myself, that I would always be alone, that others would never understand me, that I was better than them. But no.

Kairos helped me realize that I am no better than a single person at Jesuit High School, that everyone deserves to be loved. I’m not a strong, silent loner who hates everyone. I am a compassionate, loving person who wants the best for his friends, family, and classmates.”

About Kairos Retreats Jesuit High School Kairos Retreats are held four times a year for Seniors. Led by a team of Seniors and faculty/staff members, the activities on Kairos are used to promote and build community, to foster trust and openness, and to encourage reflection – with key themes including knowing oneself, discovering Jesus in a personal way, recognizing and responding to Jesus’ call, and living the message of Christ. Students share their difficulties, joys, and hopes in a supportive environment. Learn more at jesuithighschool.org/kairos.

“Come with me, and you’ll be in a world of pure imagination…”

Jesuit Drama wrapped up its 51st Anniversary Season with its 2018 Spring Musical production of Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonka.

The show broke Jesuit Drama box office records by selling out its entire three-week run a full week in advance of its opening, and—due to high demand—an additional performance was added that sold out in twenty-four hours.

Made up of an eclectic and diverse company of more than 70 students working both on and offstage, Willy Wonka featured the work of student design-interns Casey Honaker ‘18 on lighting and Scott Tooley ‘18 on sound; the two, who’ve been with the program since Freshman year, were creative and outstanding leaders and will be sorely missed after they graduate this year.

Continuing the community outreach, Beyond the Black Box work begun in the fall, the musical raised over $1,000 by selling Wonka bars, the proceeds of which went to Sister Libby Fernandez’s mobile homeless ministry, Mercy Pedalers, and after the show closed, several clothing items and stuffed, plush animal toys were donated to local charities and after-school programs.

Thanks to the generosity of its Jesuit Drama Patrons, the program was able to continue making the switch from analog to digital sound, replacing several broken and out-of-date microphones, as well as slowly but surely continuing to purchase more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly LED lighting fixtures. This summer, the second-floor costume and prop storage area will receive its long awaited storage- and work-space overhaul after a year’s work with costume designer and Associate Director Rachel Malin, Willy Park, and the Fire Marshal. Theater at Jesuit continues to grow!

The show, with its nostalgic appeal to Baby Boomers and “Gen X-ers,” shattered Jesuit Drama box office records by selling out its entire three-week run a full week in advance!

Making it Rain

Jesuit’s tech-savvy “dramatic duo” brings audiences together It’s often said that those with dramatic flair should take to the stage. Seniors Casey Honaker and Scott Tooley decided to exercise their dramatic flair off-stage, and the Jesuit High School Drama Program productions have put an exclamation point after dramatic(!) ever since. During their four years at Jesuit, both students enhanced dramatic storytelling through technical savvy – with Scott making the curtain call for every high school show, and Casey entering stage right the second semester of his Freshman year. Their knowledge and innovative ideas involving technology greatly enhanced the scenes and the actors delivering their lines – helping to create a season or mood on stage with lighting, sound and special effects. “I like the lighting and robotic projects of the theater,” says Casey, who also loves applying what he learns in the classroom into the theater space. Scott is the mastermind behind soundscapes – designing and operating the sound board and media for multiple shows including Willy Wonka, Spamalot and Isaiah Says. Scott also led a project to make it rain on stage – literally! – and Casey designed and built the electrical components for a rotating stage. Not your average high school productions!

Casey and Scott may have met in the second grade, but their friendship has truly grown through the Jesuit Drama Program.

“It has been a blast working together, as it has allowed us to do amazing things,” says Casey. “We’ve made it rain, installed full surround sound, designed rotating stages, created lighting schemes, served on the house crew, and more,” added Scott. But both agree that their favorite part of the Jesuit Drama Program is the sum of all of these moving parts: bringing audiences together through high-quality productions that advance what many think is possible with high school theater. Casey added, “If I ever had a crazy project I was always encouraged and never told no – only asked how they could help,” while Scott commended “the abundance of support the staff and patrons provided to help us bring ideas to life.” Scott further reflected: “I always thought of Drama as Disneyland – because whatever we would dream up, can come true.”

Their next act? When all the world will be their stage! Casey plans to study Computer Science and Computer Engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Albany, New York, and will continue to be in theater. Scott will pursue Communications with a digital media focus at Saint Mary’s College of California, and will similarly stay involved in theater and live productions.

As they look back on their time at Jesuit – and the many roles they’ve played as students, friends, production crew, and now graduating Seniors – they share this advice: “There is a role for everyone on campus: on the stage, in the audience, on the court, in the classroom. If you see someone doing something you find interesting, then ask how to get involved. You can accomplish anything if you put your mind to it!”

Jesuit Drama is an after-school and weekend activity with transcript credit and many opportunities onstage and offstage.

And all that Jazz!

Junior Joe Turgeon’s Musical Journey

You can confidently say that music is a Turgeon family affair.

“Everyone in my family plays an instrument and can sing. I remember “composing” my first song entitled, “Where’re the Dinosaurs?” and playing piano on and off since I was five. By second grade, I had joined my elementary school band on trumpet. I couldn’t even read music, I just memorized the songs. Switching to trombone in middle school, I practiced very hard and had a lot of help from my dad (a music teacher) and Mr. Ron Cunha (my private instructor) to learn how to play the instrument.”

While at Jesuit, Joe has had many playing opportunities, including the Jazz Band, Symphonic Band, Symphony Orchestra and Concert Choir, and thanks Mr. Cunha and Mr. Cargile for their rigorous musical instruction. Currently, Joe is in Jesuit’s Symphonic Band, Jazz Band, and Symphony Orchestra. He also plays and conducts Jesuit’s Tuba-Euphonium ensemble with the help of Mr. Cargile. Outside of the school day, he plays professionally in the Sacramento Symphonic Winds and leads and conducts his own Jazz Combo and Brass Quintet. He has further begun composing and arranging music, writing for all of the Jesuit instrumental ensembles as well as his own combo and Brass Quintet.

“I hope to one day inspire young musicians like my mentors such as my dad and Mr. Cunha have done for me.”

Many outside of Jesuit have noticed Joe’s considerable musical talents - he has been named a California All-State musician twice, he was selected for both the All-State Symphony Orchestra and Jazz Band, and he has been selected for alternate positions in both the National Youth Orchestra of the United States and Grammy Jazz Band. In addition, having been chosen to play Bass trombone in the Monterey Jazz Festival’s Next Generation Jazz Orchestra means he will have the opportunity to tour Japan this summer with the band.

Although there is no doubt that Joe is a gifted musician, he will not be resting on his laurels. He still plans to challenge himself by continuing to study music in college, with the hope someday to make a living as a professional musician. According to Joe, “I hope to one day inspire young musicians like my mentors have done for me.” It sounds like you are well on your way to that, Joe!

Junior trombonist Joseph Turgeon ranks among the many extraordinary students here at Jesuit for his musical talent.

DELTA RIVER LEAGUE RECORD: 10-4, 2ND PLACE – 3-WAY TIE OVERALL RECORD: 23-7, CIF SAC-JOAQUIN SECTION QUARTERFINAL LOSS TO MODESTO CHRISTIAN

The Marauders returned to the CA State Meet after a close 2nd place finish at the section finals to season-long rival McClatchy. They were able to defeat McClatchy for the first time, placing 11th in the State in the D1 finals, and 2nd in Northern California. The Marauders defeated Davis at the Delta League Championships to claim the 2017 Delta League title (44th overall).

Sophomore Matt Strangio was the top finisher for the Marauders in every race this season. Behind Strangio, the team was led by Senior Jordan Rahe, Juniors Colin Ryan, Antonio Vargas, Myles Worthen, Colin Brannan, and Seamus Caslin.

FOOTBALL LEAGUE RECORD: 7-0, 1ST IN THE DELTA LEAGUE OVERALL RECORD: 9-3

The Marauders soundly defeated Christian Brothers (43-14) in the 47th Annual Holy Bowl. Starting the Season 0-2 after losses to perennial powers Granite Bay (21-31) and Folsom (9-55,) Jesuit battled through and went undefeated in the ultra-competitive Delta League. As league champion, they qualified for the CIF Sac-Joaquin Section Division I play-offs. The Marauders won home games against Modesto and Vacaville, which setup a semi-final showdown versus top-ranked Folsom. The Marauders traded blows with the Bulldogs throughout the game before falling 14-27 to the eventual state champion. Next year’s outlook is bright as many starters return, including nationally recruited RB/DB Isaiah Rutherford and TE/DE Laiatu Latu.

WATER POLO LEAGUE RECORD: 3-0, 1ST IN THE DELTA LEAGUE OVERALL RECORD: 21-8, CIF SAC-JOAQUIN CHAMPION STATE PLAYOFFS – QUARTERFINAL LOSS TO SACRED HEART PREP

Jesuit Water Polo floated back to the top after two years rebuilding under 3rd year coach Zac Koerner. The Marauders went undefeated and finished 1st in the Delta League. The Marauders took on all comers, and most losses occurred against teams out of the section as they battled in top tournaments in the state against teams from the Bay Area and Southern California. The Marauders returned to the CIF Sac-Joaquin Section Final, where they defeated long-time league and Section rival Davis Blue Devils (7-5). This year’s team was comprised equally of Senior leadership and young talent led by Junior All-American Joe Cavasos. Next fall looks promising with the return of four starting underclassmen and Cavasos.

The Marauders rebounded from an average 2016-2017 season to go 23-7 through a very difficult schedule.

Jesuit started the year going 9-2, including tournament championships at Mel Goode Invitational at Yuba City, a 2nd place finish in the 44th Annual Fr. Barry, S.J. Christmas Classic, and a 2nd place finish at the Aptos Tournament over the holiday. Jesuit also defeated Rio Americano and Christian Brothers in local rivalry games. Jesuit’s Elias King made 1st team All-City, and Isa Silva was recognized on the All-State Freshman team. After three years as head coach, Jon Rotz ‘92 steps aside and will assist Tim Kelly, who has been with the program for 11+ years.

SOCCER LEAGUE RECORD: 13-0-1, DELTA LEAGUE CHAMPIONS OVERALL RECORD: 24-4-1, SAC-JOAQUIN SECTION DIVISION I SEMIFINALIST

The Marauders faced arguably the toughest schedule in the section, playing five teams who eventually won their section championships. After an early season 0-1 loss to Section Champion Folsom, the Marauders went undefeated in league play, with only a tie at the hands of Franklin. In the playoffs, Jesuit won two exciting games over Chavez (4-2) and Tokay (2-2, 6-5 in penalty kicks), before losing to McClatchy in the section semifinals. Paul Rose had a milestone victory #800, making him the winningest coach in the section. Jesuit bids farewell to Senior leaders Jordan Vice, Jack Sauls, and Ayden Burnett, but with great underclassmen talent, the Marauders are poised to regain the section title next year.

WRESTLING LEAGUE RECORD: 4-3, 4TH PLACE IN THE DELTA LEAGUE

After a long coaching search, the Marauder Wrestling program was happy to secure Coach Mike Sexton, who served previously under head coach Tom Tiurrapelle. Though down in numbers this year due to only 27 wrestlers, the Marauders finished 4-3 in the Delta League – the toughest league in the Sac-Joaquin Section – beating Davis, Monterey Trail, Sheldon & Grant.

While eight wrestlers advanced to the CIF Sac-Joaquin Section Divisional, no wrestlers placed in the top four in order to advance to the CA State Meet.

ATHLETICS

A Freshman Full Court Press Rutherford and Silva are already advancing their – and Jesuit’s – hoop dreams In the storied Jesuit Basketball program, it is rare for a Freshman to compete at the varsity level. Particularly when the team roster is already flanked with multiple Seniors and college recruits. Freshmen Branden Rutherford and Isa Silva not only competed on the 2018 varsity team that went 22-8, these fearless Freshman thrived, and were a joy to watch in action.

Grizzlies’ assistant coach and Jesuit alum, Jay Flores ‘07, who has already offered him a scholarship to play basketball at the University of Montana.

Assists, steals, scoring, making plays and clutch performances – that’s Isa’s calling card. On the 2018 team, he finished third in assists, second in steals, and fourth in scoring. Mature beyond his years, he made plays all over the court in league and playoff games.

His talents have already caught the eye of University of Montana

If Branden and Isa’s unique and well-earned rise on the Jesuit Basketball Program this past season is any indication, our championship-winning hoop dreams are well on the way to becoming a reality.

Branden provided a dazzling spark off the bench by getting into the lane, crashing the offensive glass, and creating plays for himself and those around him. Energy and mental toughness punctuate his court dominance. Finishing the season with a 59% field goal percentage, he integrated seamlessly into an established team, while also quickly earning the trust and respect of his coaches and teammates.

These two standouts are joined by Jack Jones ‘19, Sam Daly ‘19, Chase Sienkiewicz ‘19, Alvon Wolf ‘19 and Nico Virga ‘20, who form a nucleus of returning players for the 2018-19 season who are eager to make all past, present and future Marauders proud.

Just as importantly, both on and off the court, these Freshmen were engaged every day in school, with their friends, their families, the community, and with their teammates. From day one, they demonstrated leadership, poise, confidence and maturity beyond their years – modeling the Jesuit High School values of selflessness and commitment to causes larger then themselves.

Even Small Gifts Can Open Big Doors Legacy Society Members Mick ‘72 & Geri Kearns

Mick ‘72 & Geri Kearns, parents of Brian ‘03 and Andrew ‘07, are longtime supporters of Jesuit High School and members of the Jesuit Legacy Society. Members of the Society are generous benefactors who have shared that they have included Jesuit High School in their estate plans. These gifts help ensure that Jesuit High School will be able to continue the mission and tradition that began here in Sacramento in 1963 – educating the young men of the greater Sacramento area and helping to form competent young men into conscientious leaders in compassionate service to others for the Greater Glory of God. Mick attended Jesuit High School in the early years. He arrived on campus in August 1969 with 131 fellow Marauders – all Freshman of the Class of 1972. At that time, most of the classes were taught by Jesuits and he feels blessed to have had exposure to a group of amazing educators. As Mick shares “like a lot of things in life, I did not appreciate the experience at the time as much as I do now.” After graduating, he left Sacramento for college, medical school, and residency.

He and his wife Geri had the opportunity to return to Sacramento in the late ‘80’s. One of the compelling reasons they considered this return was the potential to send their then infant son, Brian, to a school that had grown and matured significantly since Mick’s days on campus. Their second son, Andrew, was born in Sacramento, and by this time there was little doubt that they wanted their sons to attend Jesuit High School.

JESUIT HIGH SCHOOL

Geri and Mick were both involved parents while their son’s attended Jesuit and have very fond memories: “Quality of education was great. They were well prepared for college. The experiences outside of the classroom were as important. Basketball and football games, Father/Son and Mother/Son events, Kairos, dances and innumerable other things made for a great, well rounded experience.”

Both expressed their thankfulness that they had the opportunity to send Brian ‘03 and Andrew ‘07 to Jesuit. Mick also loved that he could experience Jesuit both as a student and as a father.

Join Jesuit’s Legacy Society Supporting Jesuit High School through a planned gift is both rewarding and easy. You can make a lasting impact for our students by simply including the following language in your will or trust: “I/we give (percent, dollars or all residue of my estate) to the Board of Trustees of Jesuit High School – Sacramento for the purpose of (area you would like funds allocated to: Tuition Assistance Endowment, General Operations, etc.)

What is most important to remember, no matter the size of your gift, every gift can change a young man’s life through the benefit of a Jesuit education.

Gal a & PACE Auction

A Spring Soirée Jesuit held its 46th Annual Gala and Auction on March 24, 2018, themed “A Spring Soiree.” The Fr. Barry, S.J., Gymnasium and Little Theater were decorated with flowers and greenery to evoke the feeling of a garden party in Charleston. Jesuit’s Jazz Band performed classic standards and the Chamber Singers performed.

Nearly 500 guests attended the event, raising more than $725,000 for the school. All auction items generated enthusiastic bidding and guests were particularly generous in their desire to win some of the wonderful live auction items.

Jesuit would like to thank this year’s auction Chairpersons, Tracy Beckwith, Liza Micheli and Wendy Miller, who were simply remarkable in their enthusiasm and creativity. They put together one of the finest catalogues in the auction’s history and were an inspiration to everyone with their dedication and hard work. In addition, thank you to all the people who volunteered their time and talents, including Jesuit students, faculty and staff; those generous people who donated the exciting auction items and, of course, the guests, who ensured the event was a resounding success.

Auction Chairs: Liza Micheli, Wendy Miller, Tracy Beckwith

Bil & Lorraine Paul, Lisa & Dick Shanahan

Our auction is a vital part of the fundraising effort at Jesuit High School. The money raised at our auction allows us to keep operating costs to a minimum and ensures that nearly 90 percent of every dollar raised is available for our students.

Jesuit intentionally charges less than full-cost tuition to help keep Jesuit’s education within reach of all families in the greater Sacramento area.

Staying In Touch

CAREER DAY On March 14, 2018 the Alumni Office, along with the Career and Counseling Center, hosted the Annual Alumni Career Day which is presented for our Junior students. Much like “speed dating,” our students participated in three round-table, small group sessions where alums shared their journey from high school to college to career. During table conversation, alums discussed what they know now that they wished they knew in high school and college, how they found their professional path, and reflections on how their time at Jesuit has made a difference in their life. In addition, key note speaker, Isaac Serwanga ‘08, a 2013 graduate of Princeton University with a degree in Sociology and author of “The Power of Networking in College,” shared his experiences on how networking makes a difference.

NETWORKING

With more than 9,800 alumni nationwide (and 65% living in the greater Sacramento area), the potential for our alumni to help one another after high school is immense. The opportunities available aren’t limited to getting jobs for one another; it’s about helping their fellow Marauders achieve their full potential— whether through mentorship and shared experience or putting someone in touch with just the right person. Patrick Caslin ‘17, currently a student at Norte Dame, knows firsthand how networking with fellow Jesuit alums can make a difference. As he was applying for a Summer Internship with the California State Assembly, he remembered that at Career Day his Junior

year, he met alums who worked at the State Capitol. Patrick reached out to the Alumni Office and was given info for Michael Lucien ‘06, Legislative Director at California State Assembly and Neil Clark ‘07, Legislative Consultant - Speaker’s Office of Research & Floor Analysis. The good news: Patrick was awarded an internship with the Press Secretary for the Speaker of the Assembly, and when he arrives this summer, has two Marauders on his speed dial to reach out to!

STAYING IN TOUCH

Now more than ever, staying in touch with the Jesuit Alumni Office and providing your up-to-date contact information is important in these days of electronic communication, text messaging and social media. Much of our communication with Alums is through emails, cell phones, eNEWS, Facebook, Instagram and more. (Parents: If Jesuit Magazine and other mail still comes to your home for your alum son(s), please send us updated contact info!)

The Brotherhood That Binds A Journey to Lourdes

Robert Paylor ‘16

Mark Read ‘72. Tim Jeffries ‘81. Michael Ferro ‘02, Robert Paylor ‘16. All Marauders, who never met while students at Jesuit High School; however, their paths intersected through their pilgrimages to Lourdes.

HOW IT ALL BEGAN On August 29, 2007, Michael Ferro’s life was changed when he received the news “you have cancer.” On May 6, 2017, Robert Paylor was playing rugby for Cal when he received a life changing injury. Each of these young men used their personal strength and outpouring of love from family, friends and their Jesuit brothers as they began the journey to recovery and their future.

In addition, both were invited by the Knights of Malta to make a pilgrimage to Lourdes. During Michael’s trip, Mark Read ‘72, a Member of the Society of Malta, nominated and traveled with him, and Robert, accompanied by his mother Debbie, shared his journey with Mark ‘72 and Tim Jeffries ‘81.

HOW DID YOUR TIME AT JESUIT HELP YOU? Michael ‘02 reflected that through his time at Jesuit he realized “that God always has his plan, and while we may not like it, I have learned to understand that life is about sharing moments with those around you and not sweating the small things in life.” Robert noted that “Jesuit challenged me to put in the extra hours in the classroom, on the field, and in my service to others.

I’m taking that attitude into my rehabilitation and the progress is showing. Lastly and most importantly, Jesuit helped mold me to be strong in my faith. It has been very important for me to remember that God will give me strength and carry me through my most difficult times.” Tim ‘81 shared the “Jesuit education and community not only changed my life, it saved my life.”

HOW HAS THE JESUIT BROTHERHOOD CONTINUED FOR YOU? For all, the Jesuit brotherhood has extended long after graduation. For Robert ‘16, “the brotherhood at Jesuit has meant so much to me in this past year. I have relied on my brothers to help me through these challenging times and they’ve been there for me. Also, the greater brotherhood and community of Jesuit has been insurmountable in helping me through my recovery. Had I not had the continual support and prayers of that brotherhood, I wouldn’t have had the resources that brought me to be where I am today.” And for Michael ‘02, the brotherhood has followed him as he moved to Colorado and extends beyond the bonds formed on Jacob Lane. “The Jesuit brotherhood is unlike anything else. Living in Denver, we have Regis Jesuit High School. Some of the relationships that I have in Denver are because of the common bond of what a Jesuit education meant to us.” Traveling with Mark ‘72 and Tim ‘81 added to both of their experiences in Lourdes due to the Jesuit Sacramento connection.

WHAT’S NEXT? Mark ‘72 lives in Sacramento and is an active member of the Jesuit alumni community. Tim ‘81 is running for State Senate in Arizona. Michael ‘02 recently made a switch to working for a real estate tech start up. In addition, he is an active participant in his family’s nonprofit Epic Experience, which seeks to engage individuals whose lives have been affected by cancer, and help in the healing process by providing a camp where participants can experience adventure and establish a supportive community among fellow survivors. Robert ‘16 will be participating in a summer internship with Intel and this Fall will return to UC Berkeley to pursue a business degree.

MARAUDERS FOR LIFE

In the tender compassion of our God, the dawn from on high shall break upon us, to shine on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death, and to guide our feet to the way of peace.

(Luke 1.78-79)

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord And let perpetual light shine upon them.

Through Christ our Lord.

Amen.
