President’s Message

Dear Jesuit High School Community,

On Sunday, June 1, we celebrated Jesuit High School’s 66th Commencement and honored the remarkable Class of 2025. It has been an immense honor for our faculty and staff to accompany this extraordinary group of students. Their joy, service, and deep sense of purpose have left an enduring impact on our school community.

Senior speakers Winston Chan ’25 and Lucy Robb ’25 reflected on the many snapshots of their Jesuit journey: freshman iPad orientation, the Sophomore Retreat, and stargazing on the Senior Pilgrimage, to name a few. They spoke of how Jesuit shaped their view of the world and how their class has left its own mark in return. As Winston eloquently put it, “Graduation is a celebration of every challenge we’ve overcome, every hour we’ve invested,

every lesson we’ve learned, and every version of ourselves we’ve had to become to get to this point.”

Beyond graduation, the spring was filled with milestones. In March, Jesuit students and teachers participated in the third annual NW Jesuit Advocacy Summit in Seattle, where they focused on salmon watershed protection and collaborating with native peoples to care for our common home.

Twelve Jesuit students qualified for the American Invitational Mathematics Exam (AIME), placing them among the top math students in the country. Our Science Olympiad team, the Feebeck 15, won back-to-back state championships and competed at nationals in Nebraska. We had one of our strongest showings yet at the NWSE Science Fair, sending five students to ISEF. Out of our five finalists, an astounding four Jesuit students won awards in

their categories. These students are doing groundbreaking work that will truly change the world.

In April, our music program shined at the WorldStrides Festival in the Bay Area, winning the Sweepstakes Award for the most outstanding overall school program. The Chamber Choir, Jazz Band, and String Orchestra all earned the highest rating of Gold. JHS Concert Band and Cantoria also performed spectacularly, earning Silver. Another big congratulations to three of our students who were individually recognized for their superior performances: Hana Nguyen ’25, Aubrey Schiefelbein ’25, and Charlotte Gaston ’27.

Though we mourned the passing of Pope Francis, May brought a moment of global significance that sparked excitement across campus: White smoke from the Sistine Chapel signaled the election of a new Pope. From classrooms to the Hollman Family Student Union, students and staff watched history unfold as Pope Leo XIV, the first North American pontiff, stepped onto the balcony in Rome. We pray that Pope Leo continues to build bridges that connect us all and encourages us to be examples of faith, hope, love, and service.

Our student-athletes had a wonderful spring season. Women’s lacrosse won their fifth straight state championship – an incredible run for a talented group of athletes and their coach, Lauren Lakey. The men’s and women’s track teams both took home state championships.

We ended the year with our annual Auction Gala (“Derby Days”), where we raised critical funds for our mission of educating young women and men for others. Our community continues to inspire us with their generosity and commitment to community building.

That same generosity gave the Knight Gym a much-needed update this summer, with new bleachers, paint, and flooring. After 32 years of holding all-school Masses, new student orientations, Homecoming dances, graduations, assemblies, P.E. classes, athletic games, and so much more, the refresh will make the gym even more comfortable and inspiring for our community for years to come.

This fall, we welcomed the Class of 2029 to campus. These students will undoubtedly bring energy, enthusiasm, and talent. I hope the summer months have provided time to slow down and share meaningful moments with loved ones.

Thank you for supporting our mission of educating young women and men for others, and for sharing your many gifts with us.

Peace. Gratitude. AMDG.

Campus Corner Sense & Sensibility Ends Theatre Season on a Lighthearted Note

Jesuit’s spring production of Sense and Sensibility brought 18th-century England to life in the Moyer Theatre.

Jane Austen’s beloved tale followed the Dashwood sisters as they navigated the romantic relationships, societal expectations, and meddling mothers with grace and humor.

The lighthearted comedy was the final act of Jesuit’s 2024-25 season, which included productions of She Kills Monsters and Hadestown.

Please join us for the 2025/26 season, which includes Rumors by Neil Simon, A Chorus Line: Teen Edition, and Love/Sick by John Cariani. For tickets, visit jesuitportland.org/our-community/drama.

Jesuit Community Watches Historic Election of Pope Leo XIV

Jesuit’s campus was buzzing on May 8 with the news that white smoke came from the Sistine Chapel, indicating that the College of Cardinals had elected a new pope. Students, faculty, and staff gathered around monitors during Flex period in classrooms, the Hollman Family Student Union, and other common spaces to watch the historic moment: the first North American assuming the papacy. Cardinal Robert Prevost, now Pope Leo XIV, was born in Chicago and is also the first Augustinian to be named pope.

Pope Leo’s extensive ecclesiastical career includes serving as the Bishop of Chiclayo in Peru from 2015 to 2023, and as the Prior General of the Order of Saint Augustine from 2001 to 2013. In 2023, Pope Francis appointed him as the Prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops and President of the Pontifical Commission for Latin America.

We pray that Pope Leo XIV be strengthened in his ministry and continue building bridges that connect us to one another. May he be an example of faith, hope, and love!

JHS Science Students Among Best in the World

Jesuit High School had its strongest showing to date at the 75th Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF), with four of the school’s five student finalists earning prestigious Grand Awards. The international competition, held May 10-16, 2025, hosted nearly 1,700 students from more than 60 countries across 22 categories.

This year’s award-winning science projects tackled pressing issues from early wildfire detection to cancer screening to assistive technology for the visually impaired. The winning projects included:

Earth and Environmental Sciences –Fourth Award

Sohan Govindaraju ’26: “A Multilayer Perceptron Based Neural Network Model to Identify Optimal Camera Locations for Early Detection of Wildfires”

Five Jesuit students competed in the 75th Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) as ISEF Finalists May 10-16, and four of those finalists won awards in their categories! Congratulations to Sohan Govindaraju

Computational Biology and Bioinformatics – Third Award

Nidhi Yadalam ’26: “Spatial Transcriptomics and Adaptive Multi-Modal Encoding: A Novel Approach to Early Metastasis Profiling and Therapeutic Targeting Treatment”

Robotics and Intelligent Machines – Third Award

Akash Ragam ’26 and Tanay Chitlur (research partner from Westview High School): “IntelliCane: An Agentic Approach to Real-Time Obstacle Avoidance and Intelligent Decision-Making for the Visually Impaired Through a Monocular Servo-Guided Cane Using Deep LearningBased Environmental Mapping”

Microbiology – Fourth Award

Vrushab Karthik ’26: “Leveraging Microbiome Data and Machine Learning for the Identification of Novel Biomarkers in Early Detection and Classification of Pancreatic Cancer”

In addition, Vrushab won a Westlake University Special Award, and Akash and Tanay won an Advancement for Artificial Intelligence Special Award. “Every one of these young scientists put so much hard work, effort, and creativity into their projects,” said Jesuit’s Director of Student Science Research, Dr. Lara Shamieh. “Each of them saw a unique problem in the world, whether it be cancer, or a neurological disease, or navigation for

people who are visually impaired, or the threats of climate change, and sought to solve it. Here at Jesuit, we talk so often about forming men and women for others. These young scientists are truly men and women for others. It’s not that they’re going to change the world – they have already changed the world.”

Of the 30 Team Oregon students, four of the category awards came from Jesuit. Two were from Westview, and one each from Sunset, West Linn, and South Eugene.

The path to ISEF has been impressive from the start. Jesuit had 30 students compete in the Gresham Barlow Science Expo (GBSE), the regional science fair. 17 Jesuit students then went on to Northwest Science Expo (NWSE), the state science fair. Five went on to ISEF, along with 25 other students from Team Oregon.

“My first science fair at JHS was in 2016 and we had two students participate. We have grown every year since then,” said Dr. Shamieh. “Our team is truly a team – these young scientists cheer each other on, help each other out, and want the best for each other. They find joy not only in their own work, but in the work of their teammates. The scientific process is long and difficult. There’s a lot of trial and error, and sometimes even some tears, but it takes a team to find this level of success.”

’26, Nidhi Yadalam ’26, Akash Ragam ’26, Vrushab Karthik ’26, and Shriya Pai ‘26!

Campus Corner Science Olympiad Team are Back-to-Back Champs!

Congratulations to Jesuit’s repeat Science Olympiad State Champs! Jesuit's two Science Olympiad Teams competed in the Oregon State Science Olympiad competition held at the University of Portland in March.

The two teams representing J-High, the "Feebeck Fifteen" and "Gold" team, performed spectacularly with fierce competition among other high schools across Oregon.

Jesuit’s Science Olympiad Team and their coach, JHS science teacher Darrell Feebeck, celebrated their second consecutive state championship at the University of Portland in March.

The "Feebeck Fifteen" podiumed in 12 events and had a top 5 finish in 17 events, winning first place overall by 65 points in the Division C category. This incredible victory marks the second State Championship win for Head Coach Feebeck and the team, making them back-to-back champions. The team represented Oregon in the National Competition held at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in May.

Poms Dance Team Debuts With Energy and Spirit

BY ASHLEY HEGER ’26

With their debut year over, Jesuit’s Poms Dance Team brought electrifying energy and more spirit to home games and assemblies in the 2024-25 school year.

“It’s always exciting to be part of something new,” said Poms Coach Mari Juras. “Because this team has come together in a short amount of time, the support from Jesuit administration, staff, and the student body has helped us immensely.”

Led by Claire Scott ’26, Morgen Dunne ’26, and Susie O’Mahony ’26 the seven-member team is made up of experienced dancers, most of whom train daily with local studios. The Poms

performed during the fall and winter but took the spring off to focus on their competitive dance teams outside of Jesuit.

More than half of the 50 OSAA 6A high schools have Poms teams. Though it’s under the umbrella of cheer and is categorized as an activity rather than a sport by the OSAA, it demands just as much athleticism and discipline.

“I really wanted to be a part of a school sport and [be a part of] a team at Jesuit because Jesuit is so successful with all their athletics,” said O’Mahony ’26.

Now in their second year, Poms is looking forward to competing against other teams in 2025-26.

Grandparents Day Connects the Generations

Jesuit celebrated Grandparents Day on April 11, welcoming the grandparents of freshmen and juniors for a morning of connection and tradition. Guests joined their grandchildren for breakfast and the St. Peter Canisius Mass, where Mac Humberston ’25 spoke about his close bond with his grandmother.

Students also enjoyed giving campus tours and sharing their daily experiences. This cherished event offers a meaningful opportunity for students to connect with their grandparents or grandparent-figures and give them a glimpse into life at Jesuit.

Athletics

Student-Athletes Score Three Spring State Titles

Jesuit athletics teams had an incredible spring season, winning a remarkable three state championships in women’s lacrosse, men’s track and field, and women’s track and field. Our baseball and softball teams both reached the semifinals, and men’s lacrosse played a tight game in the championship match for a second-place finish. Men’s and women’s tennis both placed third in state, and men’s and women’s golf also both placed third. Congratulations to all of our student-athletes on a successful spring season!

WOMEN’S LACROSSE (May)

Jesuit women’s lacrosse defeated Grant 13-8 in the championship game to bring home their fifth straight state championship! They had an amazing 16-1-0 season, racking up 257 goals while allowing only 72. Gigi Abernethy ’25, Quinny Handley ’25, and Taylor Stalick ’25 earned First Team All-State honors. Congratulations to Coach Lauren Lakey and the women’s lacrosse team!

MEN’S AND WOMEN’S TRACK & FIELD (May)

The men's and women's track and field teams captured the state title in 2025, marking only the third time in Oregon history that a large school program won both titles in the same year.

The men’s track and field team had a banner day at Hayward Field in Eugene, winning the state championship with a total of 66 points. Grant Valley ’25 broke two state meet records in the 100m and 200m events. His 100m time of 10.36 is the third fastest time in Oregon history, and his winning time of 21.15 in the 200m is the second fastest ever in Oregon. Valley was also the anchor for Jesuit’s first place 4x400 team, which included Calvin

Hansen ’25, Coen Strub ’25, and Kellen Williams ’26. Jesuit men placed second in the 4x100, run by Valley, Aaron Rodriguez ’26, Hugh Ruttledge ’25, and Calvin Hansen ’25. Kellen Williams ’26 finished second in the 1500m and in the 3000m.

Jesuit women’s track and field won the OSAA 6A state championship, its seventh overall and first since 2018, with 54.5 points. Iman Foster ’26 led the Crusaders with a first in the triple jump and a second place in the long jump. Foster was also on the second-place 4x100 team, along with Jada Williams ’25, Cameron Gatlin ’25, and Kianna Johnson ’26. Johnson also placed third in the 100m.

Mick Abel ’20 Has Stellar MLB Debut

Mick Abel ’20 had a phenomenal MLB debut on May 18. Called up to fill the void left by an injured player, he struck out nine batters in his first appearance, tying the Phillies' franchise record for most strikeouts in a debut.

Mick's family and friends (including JHS Baseball Coach and Athletic Director Colin Griffin ’00) were there to cheer him on as his team beat the Pirates 1-0.

“Mick has carried himself like a pro since the day he walked the halls at Jesuit,” said Griffin. “Climbing through the minor leagues at such a young age is no easy path, but he’s handled every step of the journey with toughness and maturity. As a coach, seeing him make his Major League debut in Philadelphia was unforgettable. Then watching him pitch against the Pittsburgh Pirates with that same calm and command was like watching a video game come to life.”

Mick made several starts for Philadelphia. In July, he was part of the biggest trade of the season: Jhoan Duran, an All-Star closer for the Minnesota Twins, was traded to the Phillies for Mick at the trade deadline.

Mick was selected as the 15th pick by the Philadelphia Phillies in the first round of the 2020 MLB Draft. During his junior season at Jesuit in 2019, he earned a 10-0 record with a 1.26 ERA and led the Crusaders to their second state baseball title in school history.

Jesuit Basketball Roots Run Deep in the NBA

Three alumni had teams in the NBA playoffs this year: Erik Spoelstra ’88, Head Coach of the Miami Heat; Mike Dunleavy Jr. ’99, General Manager of the Golden State Warriors; and David Adelman ’99, interim Head Coach of the Denver Nuggets.

JHS men’s basketball coach Gene Potter traveled to support Adelman in his first NBA playoff appearance as a head coach. Shortly after their playoff run ended, the Nuggets made it official by naming Adelman their Head Coach. Congratulations to our alumni in the NBA!

JHS Alums Make List of Top 50 Outstanding Female Prep Athletes

Three Crusaders made the list of the 50 most outstanding female prep athletes in state history, as compiled by SBLive Oregon and High School on Sports Illustrated.

No. 2

Elizabeth Brenner ’11

Elizabeth Brenner excelled at volleyball, basketball, track, and softball at Jesuit. In volleyball, she was a three-time 6A All-State selection and was twice named Gatorade Player of the Year. In her senior year, she had one of the best all-around seasons in Oregon history, racking up 555 kills, 63 aces, 165 blocks, and 207 digs.

Brenner was also named 6A Player of the Year in basketball during her senior year and led the Crusaders to their first state championship and a remarkable 27-1 season.

No. 39 Callan Harrington ’20

As a senior, Callan Harrington’s two goals in the 2019 women’s soccer state championship game made her the top single-season scorer with 55 goals and top career scorer with 133 goals. Harrington played in the High School All-American game that year and also earned Gatorade State Player of the Year honors.

No. 47

Erin Larner ’14

Erin Larner won four 6A state singles championships in tennis and went undefeated her entire career with the Crusaders. During her dominant state tournament run, she went 192-40 in games and dropped only one set in 16 matches.

Larner played for Northwestern, where she became the seventh player in school history to earn all-Big Ten recognition all four seasons and teamed with Maddie Lipp to earn a No. 1 national ranking her senior year and receive All-America status.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Social Justice Week Inspires Action on Criminal Justice Reform

BY AMANDA MONTEZ, DIRECTOR OF DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION

Jesuit High School’s Fifth Annual Social Justice Week in March deepened our community’s understanding of the criminal justice system. Students and faculty explored systemic inequalities, mass incarceration, and the complex balance between justice and reconciliation.

Nearly 2,000 students participated in the program, which included a keynote speaker and four student-selected workshops. Over 115 workshops were led by more than 100 students and faculty, with topics ranging from “Integrating Education into the Prison System” to “Indulging in True Crime,” “Is the Death Penalty Ethical?” and “Prison Pregnancies,” among many others.

Above: Social Justice Week keynote speaker Ethan Thrower, author of A Kids Book About Incarceration, shared his own story about incarceration and how to effect change in Portland. Below: Ellie Brecker ‘26 was one of many students who facilitated workshops during Social Justice Week with the help of faculty mentors.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

We were honored to welcome 10 community members who shared their professional experiences, including a parole officer, an immigration attorney, the Washington County District Attorney, a criminology professor, and a newly appointed judge from the Oregon Court of Appeals. We were also joined virtually by Sister Helen Prejean, a leading voice in the movement to abolish the death penalty.

This year’s keynote speaker, Ethan Thrower – author of A Kids Book About Incarceration – shared his personal story as a tool for discussing incarceration, decision-making, resilience, and creating change in Portland, Oregon.

Social Justice Week has its roots in Jesuit’s Multicultural Week, which honors the rich diversity of our community. The celebration continued on Thursday and Friday with the Community Celebration Assembly, where over 125 students performed in 11 acts of music and dance. Highlights included the Black Student Union’s inaugural step routine and the Vietnamese lions emerging from the crowd – truly an unforgettable experience.

We closed the week with a school-wide Mass celebrating the many languages spoken by our families – 27 in total!

First Gen

This past year, we celebrated a milestone: our first graduating class of students who participated in four full years of First Generation College Bound programming. These students received support throughout their college application and decision-making processes, and we’re so excited to see what they achieve as the first in their families to attend and graduate from college!

Throughout the year, First Gen students marked National First Gen Day on November 8, toured Linfield University and Western Oregon University, attended a bilingual FAFSA workshop, participated in “College 101” lunches where they learned the language and tools needed to navigate higher education, and went to First Gen Fridays, monthly meetings for seniors to help them navigate the college-going process.

First Gen students toured Western Oregon University in the spring.

Celebrating Belonging

Spring was filled with cultural celebrations organized by our student affinity groups. Events included a Lunar New Year Festival featuring Chinese yo-yos, Thai fortune telling, and a Korean cookie-eating contest; Black History Month Trivia; an International Women’s Day Festival with student-run tables from Setons, Knights, the Women’s Weightlifting Club, and more; Arab American Heritage Month with trivia and Middle Eastern desserts; and an after-school Pride Celebration.

Beyond these events, our DEI Office partnered with Counseling to host two Community Days for freshmen and sophomores focused on the themes of belonging and cura personalis (“care for the whole person”). Students attended workshops on upstander training, dyslexia simulations, gender representation in media, and barriers to belonging.

In May, the DEI Office and Alumni Relations welcomed Black alumni back to campus for our annual African American Student and Alumni Luncheon, a day of shared stories, college and career advice, and community-building over a meal.

We are so grateful for this past year of learning, connection, and celebration and look forward to this school year.

Celebrating Tradition and Community at Jesuit’s Derby Days Auction Gala

Our 55th annual Auction Gala, Derby Days, was a wonderful celebration of community and generosity. We welcomed over 400 guests – including parents, alumni, past parents, and friends of Jesuit – who donned their best florals, fascinators, and pastels for the Kentucky Derby-themed event in May. The Gala included a sit-down dinner, a live Auction, and after-party casino gaming.

Combined with our online Auction, Derby Days raised over $1 million for our students, programs, and continued mission.

Event Emcee Sofia Takla ’19 and Auctioneer Dale Johannes kicked things off with a lively rendition of “Country Roads” before diving into the live Auction.

The event's special appeal focused on refreshing the Knight Gym, known as the “living room” of Jesuit High School. The gym hosts some of the most seminal moments of a student’s high school journey: freshman orientation, school dances, PE classes, spirit assemblies, and allschool Masses. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, the Knight Gym received new bleachers with

handrails, fresh paint, and refinished flooring over the summer, ensuring this cherished space remains welcoming, safe, and functional for generations to come.

Special thanks to our dedicated Auction chairs – Traci Daskalos, Marisa O’Neill, Beth Sage, and Jessica Stalick –for their second consecutive year of leading this event. Their energy, enthusiasm, and creativity helped bring Derby Days to life!

The live Auction event concluded with raffle drawings, sponsored by Northwest Jeep and the McGrain Family and Larry & Co. Congratulations to the lucky winners: the Rhyne Family who won the 2025 Jeep, and Charmin Shiely who won the diamond ring.

Thank you to our sponsors, including presenting sponsors Touchmark, Amaterra, and Northwest Jeep, and our volunteers and supporters who help ensure the success of Jesuit’s largest fundraiser. We are humbled by the many ways our community supports Jesuit High School!

Legacy Club Faith, Family, and Food: A Giving Tradition

Every Christmas for the last 25 years, the faculty and staff at Jesuit High School are treated with gift boxes of fresh fruit from Boardman Foods courtesy of Katie and Brian Maag. This is their way of giving back for all that Jesuit has given to them and their four children, Michael Paul ’05, Peter ’08, Patrick ’09, and Annamarie ’11.

Jesuit was a place where the Maag children saw their faith put into action, especially through their participation in Christian Service, retreats, weekly Mass, and daily prayer. Katie and Brian are delighted that their children are all still active in their Catholic faith. All four of Katie and Brian’s children participated in cross country, track and campus ministry.

Maag family (L-R): Peter ’08, Patrick ’09, Katie, Brian, Michael Paul ’05 and Annamarie ’11.

“Jesuit imbued our kids with a willingness to serve the world,” says Brian. “The school provides so much more than classroom learning. Our family would not be the same today if it weren’t for the experience we have had at Jesuit High School.”

Over the last 25-plus years, Katie and Brian have been involved in a wide variety of activities at Jesuit. For many years before their children attended Jesuit, they donated food boxes to the Food Drive. Brian assisted at cross country and track meets and served on the Board of Trustees from 2010-2016. Much of his time was devoted to serving on the Ignatian Identity Committee. Katie volunteered as a lunch mom and helped with the Auction and Springfest. She also served on Jesuit’s Parent Council.

Katie and Brian attribute their strong Catholic faith to their experiences in Catholic universities and the priests whom they met there.

Katie attended Blanchet High School in Seattle and was a member of St. Bridget Parish. She attended Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on a volleyball scholarship, where she earned a degree in nursing with a concentration in pediatric oncology. After college, she was a nurse in Seattle and worked at Doernbecher Children’s Hospital in Portland for 10 years.

A native of Vale, Oregon, Brian is the youngest of six children. His father was a farmer who grew row crops and operated a feed lot, and his mother was a housewife. He

attended the University of Portland, where he studied business and accounting.

Brian worked in accounting for Arthur Andersen in the Portland and Seattle offices. Wishing to apply his knowledge of business to his background in farming, Brian went into the onion business with his brother, Doug, in 1986. They named the company Jamieson Produce.

Katie and Brian met through a mutual friend and were married in Seattle in July 1986. Their vows were witnessed by Katie’s uncle, Fr. John Topel, S.J., and Brian’s brother, Ron, a diocesan priest for the Baker Diocese. Shortly after, they started a family.

While recently planning their estate, Katie and Brian decided to join the Legacy Club. Katie said, “It was a no-brainer. Having seen the huge impact that Jesuit had on my children made joining the Legacy Club an easy decision.”

The

Ignatian Formation

The Class of 2025 joins the thousands of other JHS alumni who completed over 81 hours of relationship-based service work with a marginalized population – part of Jesuit’s mission to form compassionate leaders through lived experiences of justice and reflection.

The Four Cs of Jesuit Education

BY JENNIE KUENZ ’97, DIRECTOR OF IGNATIAN FORMATION

As the Class of 2025 graduates from Jesuit High School, they become Jesuit alumni in a global network of 874 Jesuit schools. In each of these schools, the educational goal and priority is to form what Fr. Pedro Arrupe, S.J., called “men and women for others … who will live not for themselves but for God and his Christ.” (Men for Others, Valencia, 1973).

With each class that graduates, we hope to fill our world with more alumni who embody not only our Profile of the Graduate at Graduation, but also these four characteristics: competence, compassion, conscience, and commitment. Jesuit schools across the globe refer to these as the four Cs.

In Jesuit education, competence is more than having a strong academic background. Instead, we aim to form competent students who “are able to interact with reality; they are the ones who have learned to be amazed, to ask questions and to be able to understand and resolve problems … they are the ones who learn for life” (The Secretariat for Education, Society of Jesus, Rome, February 2015). In other words, they continue to use the context of their educational knowledge to be inquisitive about the world around them and view it with wonder and awe.

As Jesuit alumni, the Class of 2025 joins the thousands of other JHS alumni who have completed over 81 hours of service work with a marginalized population. This “service” work is really about relationship building and is intended

to move students from an intellectual understanding of injustice to actually experiencing and reflecting on it. Through these reflective experiences, we aim to build compassionate people, “compassionate, because they're capable of opening their hearts in solidarity and taking on the suffering others experience” (Fr. Adolfo Nicolás, Superior General of the Society of Jesus, Medellín, 2013).

One of my 2025 Ignatian Global Scholars expressed this idea so well in her final reflection: “Initially, I understood compassion as simple empathy – feeling for others in their suffering. However, through my immersion in global issues, I have come to understand compassion as a deeper, active presence with others. It is about seeing the dignity in every human being and being moved to action by that recognition. Exposure to diverse cultures, social injustices, and human stories has pushed me to move beyond sympathy toward a solidarity that demands engagement. Compassion, in the Ignatian sense, calls us to walk with those who suffer, not merely to feel for them from a distance. It asks for presence, listening, and accompaniment.”

This service work, combined with the context learned in classes such as Peace & Justice, aims to engage students in deep reflection as they become people of conscience. Jesuit education defines a person of conscience as someone who “will feel called to look at the world, at reality, with the eyes of God; to discover the goodness and beauty of creation and individuals but also places of pain, misery and injustice” (The Secretariat for Education, Society of Jesus, Rome, February 2015).

By seeing both the beauty and goodness in creation as well as the places of injustice, we hope to graduate people of commitment, which our global Jesuit community defines as people of “courageous action” who, through an openness to the guidance of the Holy Spirit are “able to discern the urgent needs of our time, so that our ways of serving will be as rich and deep as our ways of loving” (The Secretariat for Education, Society of Jesus, Rome, February 2015).

In Jesuit education, knowledge and experiences are never the goal. The goal is to discern in what ways we are called to act, to be a voice for the voiceless, and to seek justice where there is injustice. In the words of that same Ignatian Global Scholar, “Ignatian education does not stop at awareness; it asks us to act. I have learned that commitment means consistency, perseverance, and intentional action, especially when the path is difficult and unclear.”

Developing these four characteristics in our students is no small task. Yet, for a Jesuit educator, there is no greater goal than to form students who have reflected on their gifts and talents and leave with a deeper understanding of how to use those gifts to be people of action in their communities.

As another student reflected, “I grew from someone who knew change needed to be made into someone who knows how to make that change. I have talked with our elected leaders, done research, and given a big presentation, all to educate others and work to achieve justice, all things that I never thought I would be able to accomplish or ever dreamed of myself doing.”

Congratulations to the Class of 2025! We are excited to see the ways you live out your lives as people of competence, conscience, and compassionate commitment.

Walking Together CLASS OF 2025

BY PRINCIPAL KHALID MAXIE

“You walk together and you won’t get weary. You might get tired, but you won’t get weary.”

These powerful words from Sr. Thea Bowman speak directly to the journey of the Class of 2025, a class that has walked through uncertainty and emerged united, courageous, and full of purpose.

Over the past four years, this class has faced a world in flux. They began high school in masks and finished with their arms draped around each other, swaying during Mass, cheering at games, and standing up for one another. They’ve lived through global challenges and local triumphs. And through it all, they’ve walked together. Not without fatigue, never alone, and never without faith.

While the world challenged them, Jesuit High School poured into them. They know what it’s like to stop and pause for morning prayer or reflect on their days through the Examen. They know

what it’s like to work together to serve hundreds of families in need during the annual Food Drive. They know what it means to be humble enough to wash their classmates’ feet. They know the warmth of an embrace during the Sign of Peace.

As they enter the next chapter with a sense of purpose, Jesuit has poured into them a sense of responsibility to take care of the people on the margins, to think and question critically, to foster belonging in their communities, to make a positive impact, and to do things for the Greater Glory of God.

Class of 2025: As you fly in different directions, may you carry with you the lessons, friendships, and faith that have shaped you here.

2025 presidential award winners

The following recognition is awarded by the president each year and presented to the recipients at Baccalaureate. The St. Peter Canisius, S.j., Award, Fr. pedro arrupe, s.j., award, Alumnus of the Year Award, and Age quod agis awards all honor individuals whose deep dedication and commitment to Jesuit High School have left an indelible mark on the school and its community.

St. Peter Canisius, S.J., Award

mary c. murphy

St. Peter Canisius, S.J., is the patron saint of Jesuit High School. A contemporary of St. Ignatius of Loyola, he was a famous scholar, preacher, writer, and Apostle to Germany during the Reformation. The Catholic Church canonized him in 1925. This year we are pleased to present the St. Peter Canisius, S.J., Award to Mary C. Murphy.

Mary was born and raised in Portland, Oregon. She attended Ainsworth Elementary, Lincoln High School, and the University of Oregon, where she earned a degree in accounting. She became a CPA in 1986 and settled in Sacramento, California, where she worked as an auditor for the California legislature until 1988. Mary then worked as a CPA at Coopers and Lybrand in Oregon for several years before raising her family.

Mary’s dedication to Catholic education began at her children’s elementary school, St. Thomas More, where she served as PTO President and School Advisory Chair and is now Chair of the school’s $15 million capital campaign focused on rebuilding the school.

Mary’s extensive involvement with Jesuit High School began 21 years ago when her oldest child, Elizabeth ’08, started attending the school in 2004. The rest of Mary’s six children followed closely behind: Patrick ’09, Henry ’11, Sarah ’13, Edward ’17, and Peter ’20. Mary emphasizes the importance of the education her children received: “The

Catholic faith life has always been an important part of my family,” says Mary. “I will always be grateful that my children were educated in Jesuit spirituality and its commitment to solidarity with the poor and those on the margins.”

For over two decades, Mary has generously given her time and expertise to Jesuit in various roles. She was a longtime member of the Parent Council, serving in an advisory capacity throughout two Principals’ tenures. She worked in the lunchroom nearly the entire time her children attended Jesuit and served twice as Auction Chair to help raise integral funds for the school’s programs and operations. Mary also hosted and coordinated countless team dinners for her children’s athletic teams, including cross country, track and field, and tennis.

Mary has been an involved member of Jesuit’s Board of Trustees for the last six years. She is a member of the Executive Committee and the Development Committee and has Chaired the Academic Committee for the last six years, dedicating much time and expertise. Her background in business, her deep understanding of the Jesuit mission, and her experience with various initiatives over the years have all made her an ideal member for these important positions.

Mary is a member of the Legacy Club by including Jesuit High School in her estate plan and is a longtime supporter of the school. “My number one mission is Catholic education,” says Mary. “I continue being involved with Jesuit to help other families receive the benefits of what my children received.”

In addition to being actively involved at Jesuit, Mary’s spirit of service extends to the greater community, including Blanchet House where she has devoted more than a decade to serving meals to Portland’s houseless. One of her most rewarding experiences is tutoring middle school students at St. Andrew Nativity School, where she has formed lasting connections for more than 10 years.

Mary’s consistent presence in the communities she serves shows a dedication to future generations and is an example of how to live out Ignatian values.

“For the past two decades at Jesuit High School and in other important Catholic initiatives in Portland, Mary Murphy has been the embodiment of Catholic values such as faith, compassion, and servant leadership,” says Jesuit High School President Tom Arndorfer. “We are deeply grateful for her sustained commitment to our sacred mission.”

Mary has the following words of wisdom for the Class of 2025: “Congratulations, Class of 2025! I hope the values instilled in you through your Jesuit education guide you toward a future filled with purpose and compassion.”

For her committed and humble dedication to Jesuit High School, for her continued support and prayers, and for all she has done for our school and the community, we were proud to honor Mary C. Murphy with the St. Peter Canisius, S.J., Award for 2025.

fr. pedro arrupe, s.j., award

archbishop

john g. vlazny

Fr. Pedro Arrupe, S.J., served as Superior General of the Society of Jesus from 196583. He gave one of his most famous speeches in 1973 when he proposed the educational objective to form “men and women for others.”

Jesuit High School’s Arrupe Award honors and recognizes those whose service is a model of what it means to be a person for others. This year, we are pleased to present the Fr. Pedro Arrupe, S.J., Award to Archbishop John G. Vlazny.

Archbishop Vlazny served as the tenth Archbishop of Portland, Oregon, from 1997-2013. He passed away on May 23, 2025. He was known for his humility, his love for the people he served, and his strong sup-

port of Catholic education. Raised in Chicago in a devout Catholic family, Archbishop Vlazny was drawn to the priesthood from a young age. He attended St. Gall School and Archbishop Quigley Preparatory Seminary in Chicago, followed by St. Mary of the Lake Seminary in Mundelein, Illinois, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1958. His theological studies continued in Rome at the Pontifical North American College and the Pontifical Gregorian University, culminating in a Bachelor of Sacred Theology in 1960 and a Licentiate in Sacred Theology in 1962.

Demonstrating a lifelong dedication to education, Vlazny furthered his academic pursuits by obtaining a Master of Arts in Classics from the University of Michigan in 1967 and a Master of Education in School Administration from Loyola University Chicago in 1972.

Ordained to the priesthood in 1961 at St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, Vlazny returned to Chicago to serve in various capacities. He was an associate pastor at several parishes and joined the faculty of Quigley Preparatory Seminary North, where he served from 1963 to 1979, including a decade as Dean of Studies. His leadership roles expanded as he became President of the Presbyteral Senate for the Archdiocese of Chicago and later Rector of Niles College Seminary.

In 1983, Pope John Paul II appointed Vlazny as Auxiliary Bishop of Chicago and Titular Bishop of Stagnum. In this role, Vlazny served as Episcopal Vicar for Lake County and the northwestern part of Cook County, Illinois, and worked closely with the Office of the Hispanic Apostolate.

He was appointed Bishop of Winona, Minnesota, in 1987. During his tenure, Vlazny emphasized lay participation, decentralized diocesan administration, and established the Offices of Youth and Family Life. He also initiated the annual "Harvest Mass," celebrated on a farm to honor the agricultural community.

In October 1997, Vlazny was appointed Archbishop of Portland in Oregon, succeeding Archbishop Francis George. As Archbishop, Vlazny became known for his candidness and commitment to addressing challenging issues within the Church with integrity and care.

Beyond administrative duties, Vlazny was an active member of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, contributing to committees on evangelization, vocations, and Hispanic affairs. He was also instrumental in drafting a pastoral letter on the Columbia River watershed, highlighting the Church's commitment to environmental stewardship.

“He is very personable, funny, and down-to-earth,” says John Gladstone, past president of Jesuit High School. “As Archbishop, he was a friend to Jesuit High School, cared about our students, and respected the mission of

educating women and men for others. He wanted to make the Church relevant to every person.”

In January 2013, Vlazny reached the mandatory retirement age and submitted his resignation to Pope Benedict XVI. He was succeeded by Archbishop Alexander Sample. In retirement, Vlazny continues to be recognized for his dedication to pastoral care, education, and social justice, leaving a lasting impact on the communities he serves.

“Generations of Jesuit students have been inspired by his presence on our campus as he has participated regularly in celebrating Mass and providing the sacrament of reconciliation for years,” says Jesuit High School President Tom Arndorfer. “We are deeply grateful for his impact on the Catholic Church, the Archdiocese of Portland, and Jesuit High School.”

Archbishop Vlazny's life reflects a profound commitment to faith, education, and service, embodying the principles of the Church through decades of devoted ministry.

John Gladstone, who met Fr. Arrupe, S.J., in the 1970s at St. Ignatius High School in Cleveland, says this is a fitting award for Vlazny, who shares similarities with Arrupe. “They have the same humility,” he says.

In recognition of his years of dedicated service to Jesuit High School we honored Archbishop John G. Vlazny with the Fr. Pedro Arrupe, S.J., Award for 2025.

ALUMNUS OF THE YEAR award

Maddie O’Neill-Andrews ’01

Each year, Jesuit High School presents the Alumnus of the Year Award to an individual whose actions and deeds represent the values of Jesuit High School as found in the Profile of the Jesuit Graduate at Graduation: open to growth, intellectually competent, loving, religious, and committed to doing justice. This year, Jesuit High School was pleased to present the Alumnus of the Year Award to Maddie O’Neill-Andrews ’01.

Maddie grew up in Portland, Oregon, and attended St. Cecilia School through eighth grade and then Jesuit High School. Jesuit education was integral to her family with her father graduating from Bellarmine San Jose in 1967 and other family members attending St. Ignatius in San Francisco. Her brother, Mark O’Neill ’96, sister Colleen Van Zante ’03, husband Peter ’99, and nieces Ella ’22 and Lily ’24 O’Neill all graduated from Jesuit.

As a Jesuit student, Maddie discovered a passion for service and the spirit of Age Quod Agis. Her English teacher, Herm Schattenberg, demanded high standards that encouraged her to “do well whatever you do.” Maddie was also involved in Campus Ministry, which showed her how to live out her faith in action.

After graduating from Jesuit in 2001, Maddie earned a degree in political science from the University of Oregon. During college, she co-founded a nonprofit with other Jesuit alums called Leve (“Party with a Purpose”). Their signature event, Charity Ball, amplified the missions of various local nonprofits while raising critical funds for their work. Maddie met her husband, Peter, at a Leve event; they married in 2011. In 2014, son Conor was born. Daughter Colleen (Coco) was born in 2016.

Maddie’s service work continued after college. She served on the Ambassador Board at Friends of the Children, a local nonprofit providing mentoring to youth. Her involvement expanded to a role on the organization’s main Board, a position she held for the next decade.

“In this role, surrounded by similarly service-minded people, I started to determine what I wanted to do with my life,” says Maddie. “I wanted to be deeply connected to the community and people’s well-being.”

During this time, she worked for Cambia Health Foundation for five years, helping with grants.

After her youngest child was born, Maddie devoted herself full-time to her family and volunteer opportunities in the community and with Friends of the Children. Six

years ago, she joined Jesuit’s Board of Trustees and the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee, which she has chaired for the last six years.

“My involvement on the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee has been profoundly meaningful to me because it embodies both service and the pursuit of justice,” says Maddie. “My personal experience as a student who benefited from financial assistance demonstrated the true meaning of cura personalis, which also guides our DEI work.”

Maddie served on Jesuit’s Board at the height of the pandemic and identifies the Ignatian practice of discernment as essential to navigating those challenging times.

“We leaned into our Catholic, Ignatian values of walking with the excluded, journeying with youth, and seeing God in all things,” says Maddie. “Through the discernment process, we made decisions that served our entire community and found solace and purpose in our Catholic values.”

Outside of Jesuit, Maddie has served on St. John Fisher’s School Advisory Council for the last five years and on the Board of The Children’s Institute, which supports children and families through research, practice, policy, and advocacy.

Her commitment to service and her experiences at Jesuit as a student and Board member led Maddie to pursue her master’s in mental health counseling at Northwestern University. She hopes to work in community-based mental health services helping parents and teens discover paths to meaningful lives, just as Jesuit did for her, when she graduates in spring 2026.

Maddie has this important question for the Class of 2025, something that is foundational to her own life: “What will you do to build community as you make your way in the world? How will you use the foundation Jesuit has given you to find your own purpose and be in service to others?”

For her continued commitment, spirit of selflessness and service, and inspiring devotion and dedication to our school and our community, Jesuit High School was proud to present the 2025 Alumnus of the Year Award to Maddie O’Neill-Andrews ’01.

age quod agis Award

Geoffrey R. Hunnicutt

The motto of Jesuit High School is Age Quod Agis, “Do Well Whatever You Do.” The President’s Age Quod Agis Award recognizes individuals who have “done well” in their association with Jesuit High School. This year, Jesuit High School was proud to present the Age Quod Agis Award to Geoffrey R. Hunnicutt.

Geoff was born in Carmel, California, and grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area. His father, R.P. Hunnicutt, was a World War II combat veteran, engineer, and historian who authored a ten-volume history of American armored fighting vehicles. His mother was a homemaker who raised Geoff and his three sisters.

After graduating from Carlmont High School in 1977, Geoff enlisted in the U.S. Army at age 17. He attended the Defense Language Institute in Monterey and graduated in 1978. He was stationed in South Korea for a year, then returned to Fort Ord, California, and was promoted to sergeant. Geoff graduated from the U.S. Military Academy Prep School in 1981 and received an appointment to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.

In 1985, Geoff graduated from West Point with Phi Kappa Phi honors. He completed Airborne and Ranger School at Fort Benning, Georgia, before deploying to South Korea where he served as the Executive Officer of an anti-armor company in the 2nd Infantry Division. In 1987, Geoff returned to Fort Ord, serving as a Battalion Staff Officer and Executive Officer of a light infantry company in the 7th Infantry Division.

Geoff met his wife, Sandy, in Portland while visiting his sister. They were married in 1988 and moved to Monterey, California, where Sandy continued her career in finance and mortgage banking. Geoff was promoted to Captain and assigned to the 25th Infantry Division in Hawaii as a Division Staff Officer where he wrote training guidance and coordinated training exercises between Division units and the Japanese Self Defense Force and the Australian Army. Geoff was deployed to Egypt in 1991-1992 in the aftermath of the Gulf War where he commanded an infantry company.

When the Army began downsizing after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Geoff decided to resign and pursue a career in teaching. He enjoyed high school and felt called to the classroom.

Geoff and Sandy moved to Portland in 1992, where Sandy worked at Bank of America so Geoff could attend the graduate education program at Portland State University.

Answering an employment ad in The Oregonian, Geoff was hired at Jesuit in 1994 during the school’s second year of coeducation and spent the next 31 years teaching World and U.S. History. He also taught Summer School

math for six years, briefly coached basketball, and has recently helped with the Knights faith formation program.

Geoff’s close mentors were Mike Simons and Fr. Larry Robinson, S.J., with whom he shared a classroom. When Fr. Robinson stepped down, Geoff became Chair of the History Department from 2000-2004. He reflects fondly on his 22-year collaboration with John Andreas in shaping the U.S. History curriculum and feels fortunate to have served with so many talented teachers and administrators during what Fr. Bill Hayes, S.J., often called “the Golden Age of Jesuit High School.”

Geoff has taught close to 4,000 students, including nearly 100 children of faculty and staff. He has served on 13 search committees and on several other committees, such as the Safety and Security Committee,

the Teacher Evaluation Committee, and the Employee Health Care Committee. He was twice a member of the Faculty Advisory Board, including during the pandemic.

Geoff and Sandy’s two sons, Richard ’12 and Willy ’17, are proud Jesuit graduates. The Hunnicutts have also been supporters of Edison High School where Willy took some courses.

Geoff retired from teaching in June 2025. He is a person of humility, wisdom, and deep integrity. He is a caring teacher, a loyal colleague, and a steadfast presence in the school community.

To the Class of 2025, Geoff offers this advice: “You all have enormous potential to live lives of great meaning and purpose. Strive to do the right thing when challenged by fatigue or self-interest, but know that you will sometimes fail. Failure, however, should not be feared. It is your greatest teacher.”

For his enduring commitment and dedication to our school, our mission, and our community for 31 years, Jesuit High School was proud to present the 2025 Age Quod Agis Award to Geoffrey R. Hunnicutt.

age quod agis Award

Gary W. Rombach

The motto of Jesuit High School is Age Quod Agis, “Do Well Whatever You Do.” The President’s Age Quod Agis Award recognizes individuals who have “done well” in their association with Jesuit High School. This year, Jesuit High School was proud to present the Age Quod Agis Award to Gary W. Rombach.

Gary grew up in Medford, Oregon, where his familyowned Oak Grove Furniture. He attended St. Mary’s High School in Medford and participated in football, basketball, and track and field. Gary attended Oregon State University from 1976 to 1979 majoring in business.

When the furniture store manager passed away during his final semester, Gary returned home to run the business. Gary met his wife, Toni, during a shopping visit to the store. They were married in 1979 and had three children, all of whom attended Jesuit: Christina ’99, Philip ’02, and Leslie ’04.

In 1985, Gary decided to pursue a more meaningful path through teaching. He and his dad closed the furniture store after Gary earned his teaching degree at Southern Oregon University. In 1987, Gary started teaching math at Douglas High School in Winston, Oregon. Gary also coached football at Douglas and track at the local junior high school (he and Toni were head coaches of the track team).

In the spring of 1990, Gary interviewed for five teaching positions in four states in three days and accepted a position at Jesuit High School, drawn to its Catholicity and tradition of excellence. “I have been at Jesuit for 30+ years because there’s a cross on the wall,” says Gary. While teaching math and speech, Gary taught summer school for many years.

He coached the freshman and JV football teams alongside Tim Massey, Jerry Hahn, and Herm Schattenberg among others, and javelin, shot put, and discus.

“I started coaching because some of the best life lessons you can learn are on the field,” says Gary.

Jesuit transitioned to coeducation in 1993, almost doubling the size of the school. Daughter Christina ’99 was in one of the earlier classes with young women. During this busy time, Gary took night classes at Lewis & Clark Law School and earned his Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree in 1997.

Gary became Dean of Students in 2001. One condition for his acceptance of that role was that he be allowed to continue to teach one math class and coach. In 2005, Gary returned to the classroom fulltime to teach physics and math.

In 2007, Gary had the opportunity to become chaplain of Gonzaga University School of Law and lead Gonzaga’s pivotal Cardoner Retreat. A year later, he and Toni returned to Oregon where Gary taught at North Marion High School and Sherwood High School. He also coached football at Linfield College and track and field at Jesuit.

Gary returned to Jesuit in 2012 to teach and coach football and javelin. Throughout his impressive 30 cumulative years at Jesuit, his dedicated service to the school and its students has been remarkable: coordinating the Freshman Overnight Retreat for several years, volunteering and coordinating various Encounters, leading on over 20 Encounters, leading the Knights faith formation program for 10 years, and timing basketball games. Together, he and Toni also taught summer school for over 20 years.

Beyond Jesuit, Gary has volunteered with the ABA’s Military Pro Bono Project, providing legal support to active-duty service members. Along with multiple Jesuit alums, He and Toni are supporters of Xavier Catholic Prep, a Catholic high school proposed for Redmond,

Oregon. Toni has supported Jesuit alongside Gary for decades, including organizing and supplying concessions for football and basketball games.

Gary retired from Jesuit in June 2025 following his long and remarkable career in education. He envisions this transition as passing the torch to the next generation. He plans to read, write, tend to his property located near McMinnville and spend time with his family and eight grandchildren.

Gary has the following advice for the Class of 2025: “Give back. Wherever you get planted, be a contributor not just a taker. Remember what Christ said in Luke Chapter 12: ‘From everyone to whom much has been given, much will be required.’ And you have been given much. Realize that all is a gift. And your gifts, like all God’s blessings, are not meant for you alone.”

For his enduring commitment and dedication to our school, our mission, and our community for 30 years, Jesuit High School was proud to present the 2025 Age Quod Agis Award to Gary W. Rombach.

RECOGNIZING Jesuit Teachers

EDUCATOR

OF THE YEAR

Amanda Montez

The Educator of the Year Award is given to a faculty or staff member whose work has had a significant impact on the education of the Class of 2025. Jesuit High School was deeply honored to present this year’s Educator of the Year award to Amanda Montez.

Since joining Jesuit High School four years ago, Amanda has been a force for positive change, particularly in her work to promote Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Her leadership has not only shaped our school’s DEI programming but also inspired those around her to live out the values of Catholic Social Teaching and inclusivity.

Through her transformation of Multicultural Week into Social Justice Week, Amanda has brought meaningful, thought-provoking conversations into our community, drawing on the expertise of professionals from across the nation.

Amanda’s leadership style is both compassionate and data-driven. She consistently seeks out feedback, adapts her strategies to meet our community’s needs, and most importantly, listens. Her ability to connect with both students and

staff, to make them feel valued and heard, is one of her greatest strengths.

Amanda’s dedication to our school’s mission is evident in the many ways she supports students, including her creation of the Romero Scholars and First Gen Programs, which honors and uplifts our most marginalized students. She has made a lasting impact on the lives of many of our students and their families.

Amanda’s collaborations with the CLARC, Counseling, and Christian Service departments have been key in shaping some of our most impactful community days, and her role as a liaison between Jesuit High School and St. Andrew Nativity School continues to build bridges that deepen our shared commitment to service and education.

A colleague commented this: “Amanda keeps students at the center of all she does. She is one of my favorite thought partners because I know she will thoughtfully listen to what I have suggested, and the end result will be better for our students. Ultimately, Amanda challenges us all to be the best version of ourselves.”

SANDY SATTERBERG AWARD IN IGNATIAN PEDAGOGY

Matthew Schulte

The Sandy Satterberg Award in Ignatian Pedagogy is intended for a teacher who strives to employ Ignatian principles in their teaching, who is committed to educating the whole student and seeking an ever-deepening awareness and practice of Ignatian education. This year’s Sandy Satterberg Award in Ignatian Pedagogy went to Matthew Schulte.

Matt has been a theology teacher at Jesuit for eleven years. He has served as a department chair and is currently the men’s golf coach.

One of his colleagues remarked, “Matt is a role model of what it means to be an Ignatian Educator. He engages his students with both support and challenge, meeting them where they’re at while also offering thought-provoking questions that push students to wrestle with their faith and worldviews.”

Another colleague noted, “His approach to his students embodies cura personalis, his care and concern for his students are consistently evident. Few educators combine competency and compassion like Matt Schulte.”

Said another colleague, “He approaches decisions with a quiet optimism for the best possible outcomes, and he supports his colleagues with kindness and a quick laugh. He is thoughtful above all else, determined to help you walk through whatever challenge you’re facing.”

Jesuit High School is grateful to Matt for being present and authentic with students and colleagues alike. Congratulations to Matt Schulte on receiving the Sandy Satterberg award!

The Heart

How Jesuit’s Clark Library is

of Help

Redefining Academic Support

Step into Jesuit’s library and you'll find not just books, but a space buzzing with activity, collaboration, and exploration. The Clark Library and Academic Resource Center (CLARC) is a dynamic, student-centered hub that embodies Jesuit’s core values of cura personalis, openness to growth, and community.

With soft furniture, collaboration rooms equipped with whiteboards and screens, and flexible spaces for studying or socializing, the CLARC feels like a college commons. Beyond the inviting environment, what makes the CLARC exceptional is what it provides: academic support for every student, when and how they need it. There is free daily tutoring for all students in all subjects, a testing center, and a writing lab.

“Providing students with a space to work with the supplies they need, and with tutors they feel comfortable asking questions to, can make a dramatic difference not only in their academic performance, but in their self-advocacy skills,” said Colleen

O’Mahony, Director of the CLARC. “They realize that good students ask for the help they need. And that's a life skill.”

The CLARC staff work hard to anticipate any barriers to student success. That starts with being open daily from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. during the school year and from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the summer. Summer programming includes incoming freshmen support, Christian Service paper assistance, and credit recovery.

Along with an extraordinary array of materials, students have access to PhD-level research specialist Dr. Jason Price to guide them through college research preparation and provide support.

The CLARC also fosters peer-to-peer interactions through tutoring and the writing lab.

“One of Jesuit’s mottos is ‘men and women for and with others,’” O’Mahony said. “What you see here every day are formal and informal interactions of students helping each other.”

STORY BY SADIE WUERTZ & MAUREEN MCGRAIN ’97

A Space – and Philosophy – Expands

When O’Mahony joined Jesuit as Director of Learning Support in 2015 after more than a decade at Edison High School, the learning support program was focused on students with learning differences. It became clear that the need for academic support at Jesuit extended well beyond any single population.

“Students who didn’t need ‘official’ support were showing up,” O’Mahony recalled. “It was clear there was a hunger for success – and for a place that supported that. It aligned with Jesuit culture to grow the program into something more inclusive.”

That evolution began with expanding academic seminars and adding zero and eighth periods for students with demanding schedules or who needed additional academic support. Students also began accessing study tools, finals templates, and other supplies.

In 2017, the school remodeled the space into a flexible, modern learning hub. With the retirement of Jesuit’s longtime librarians five years later, as well as the natural shift toward digital and online resources, it was time to rethink how the physical library could serve all students, including the 250 students with diagnosed learning differences.

By 2022, all academic support services had fully transitioned into what is now the CLARC, with five full-time staff members.

The CLARC team orients its work around three key goals:

1. Make the Margins the Center

Inspired by Jesuit values, the team prioritizes programs that serve students who may be on the academic or social margins, building supports tailored to their needs.

2. Cultivate a Growth Mindset

“Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness,” said O’Mahony. The CLARC works to normalize both help-giving and help-seeking through peer tutoring, mentoring, and teacher collaboration.

3. Prepare Students for 21st-Century Scholarship

Through a four-year research sequence designed by Dr. Price, all students learn to think and work like college scholars. The program is embedded in core classes and includes video modules, classroom visits, and a common foundation in using citations, academic databases, and online tools. “With the curriculum, we are trying to develop skills that foster confidence in our students when they get to college. We want them to feel prepared and unafraid when they’re handed that first research assignment their freshman year of university,” said Price.

The Writing Lab and Testing Center

Two of the CLARC’s biggest developments in recent years have been the launch of a studentrun writing lab and a dedicated testing center.

The writing lab is led by Price – a former UCLA writing instructor – and 25 trained junior and senior writing fellows. Students can drop in or schedule appointments, and teachers receive follow-up reports to ensure consistent support.

“Research suggests that writing is one of those skills that is best cultivated in relational, oneon-one settings, so we wanted to create a space that supports the work of teachers in that endeavor,” said Price.

The testing center is equally innovative. Designed to support both students and teachers, the space accommodates everything from make-up exams to extended time for qualified learners. With college-level software and thoughtful scheduling, the center offers privacy and reduces stigma. Last year alone, the CLARC administered 6,380 tests. It also supports major assessments like AP exams, PSATs, and even schoolwide SAT testing.

Inspiration from Across the Jesuit Network

The CLARC team finds inspiration in Jesuit’s mission and from other schools in the Jesuit network. “The Jesuit ideal is to adapt your educational spaces to your climate and context,”

O’Mahony noted. “We stewarded what we had and built something that fits who we are.”

Jesuit students now benefit from study skills workshops, executive functioning tools like the Pomodoro technique, and resume-building sessions. With student library cards that offer access to digital books and audiobooks through Washington County Cooperative Library Services (WCCLS) and Libby, the reach of the CLARC extends far beyond its 14,000 physical volumes.

A Community of Support

Collaborating with student clubs, affinity groups, and other departments on campus to organize forums and workshops is another way that the CLARC cultivates cura personalis. For example, the CLARC hosts info sessions on learning differences at Freshman Community Day and professional development meetings. The CLARC has even hosted a workshop to teach students how to tie a tie in anticipation of the first all-school Mass of the year.

Whether students are seeking a silent study space with noise-canceling headphones, a conversation about how to structure a final paper, or a game of chess with friends, they know they’ll be met with kindness and support.

“Being together is the heart of who we are at Jesuit,” O’Mahony said. “Having a space where students feel seen, supported, and successful is what the CLARC is all about.”

Alumni Events

Mug Day

In May, the Alumni Office welcomed its newest members – the Class of 2025 – with our Mug Day celebrations. This tradition involves gifting a “Jesuit Alumni” mug to all of our graduating seniors to acknowledge their transition from students to alums. Congratulations, Class of 2025! We look forward to watching your journeys unfold in your bright futures ahead!

On April 9, sophomores and juniors explored a world of possibilities at Career Day. They heard firsthand from alumni and community members working in fields like the airlines, social work, fashion design, urban planning, law, public safety, and more.

Juniors participated in workshops on resume building and interview skills, while sophomores heard from a young alumni panel as well as alumni and community members on future trends and emerging careers.

Thank you to our presenters for sharing their wisdom and advice with our students! Special thanks to our keynote speaker, Mike Pranger ’74, and our young alumni who Zoomed in.

Crusader Crunch

CELEBRATING 40 YEARS

Jesuit High School’s beloved alumni basketball tournament, the Crusader Crunch, celebrated its 40th anniversary this year! What began as a simple way for alums to reconnect has grown into a cherished tradition that brings together generations of alumni, families, and friends for a weekend of spirited competition and camaraderie.

This 40th anniversary tournament featured a lineup of alumni teams spanning decades, with players representing the classes of 1986/1992+, 1995, 1996, 1998+, 2006+, 2011, 2013/2014, 2015/2016, and 2018/2019/2020.

In the Potter Bracket, the Class of 2006+ once again proved their dominance, edging out the Class of 2011 in the championship game. In the Schattenberg Bracket, the Class of 1996 came out on top!

A special recognition went to the Class of 1996, who celebrated 25 consecutive years of playing together as a class. They’re the only class that hasn’t pulled players from other classes for their team – a testament to their commitment to the Crunch and to each other!

We were honored to welcome John Dougherty ’64, the original Crusader Crunch chair, whose early leadership shaped the event into what it is today.

A special thanks to Gavin Amato ’96, our current tournament chair, for his tireless work in keeping the tradition going.

Congratulations to all of our tournament all-stars, and thank you to the players and fans who made this year’s Crusader Crunch such a memorable celebration of the Jesuit community and tradition!

Honoring Dick Hazel, Former Jesuit Teacher

It is with great sadness that we share the news that former Jesuit High School English teacher Dick Hazel passed away on June 6 at age 77. Mr. Hazel taught English and s peech at Jesuit from 1979 until 2010. He also served as editor and copy editor of Age Quod Agis magazine for many years.

Dick was born and raised in Yakima, Washington, with three brothers and one sister. He attended Whitman College, where he met his wife, Cheryl. He also attended the University of Washington and received his Master of Arts in Teaching from Reed College. He and Cheryl were married in 1972, and the young couple lived in Newport, Oregon. His first teaching job was in Siletz, Oregon.

In 1979, he began his storied career at Jesuit. Mr. Hazel was a larger-than-life teacher whose presence in the classroom garnered respect. His former students will remember the sign in his classroom that read “Listening = Understanding.” That sign now hangs in the classroom of John Andreas ’96, current Jesuit High history teacher, who was inspired by Mr. Hazel to become an educator himself.

“He was such a community-builder,” said Andrea Casey ’97, JHS Arrupe Center Director. “He opened up his home to so many over the years.”

After leaving Jesuit in 2010, he taught at NAYA Native American Youth and Family Center's Portland Public High School.

In January 2024, Dick received a cancer diagnosis and began treatment. In the midst of his procedures, Dick strongly valued his quality of life, his time with Cheryl, and enjoying the home he loved. He visited with friends and replied honestly when asked, “How are you doing?”

One of the books that had a profound influence on Dick's view of medical care and choices was At Peace – Choosing a Good Death After a Long Life, by Dr. Samuel Harrington.

We are profoundly grateful for the blessing of his life and the broad, profound effect he had on his students, colleagues, and our school community.
