YEARS OF TRADITION IN EXCELLENCE AT SLUH
“FOR OVER 200 YEARS, ST. LOUIS UNIVERSITY HIGH SCHOOL HAS BEEN COMMITTED TO LEADERSHIP AND SERVICE FORMATION FOR GOD’S GREATER GLORY. SLUH IS A PLACE WHERE STUDENTS BECOME TRUE LEADERS FOR THE WORLD.” — FR. IAN GIBBONS, SJ PRINCIPAL
JESUIT EDUCATION: A SLUH TRADITION From the moment a young man steps foot in SLUH, to the moment he strides across the stage at Powell Hall to accept his diploma, everything he will experience is designed to ensure he leaves SLUH intellectually inspired, open to growth, loving and a faithdriven “man for others” committed to doing justice. He will share a desire to achieve “Excellence in All Things”: an active, aspirational ideal that goes beyond academics, one that has driven, and differentiated, SLUH and its Jesuit traditions for over 200 years. It is our purpose, and our privilege, to oversee
the education and formation of 1,000 young men with exceptional God-given abilities, from whom we expect extraordinary things. To accept less would deprive them, and the world beyond, of their full potential. Throughout his four years at SLUH, he will be embraced with respect and inclusion through needs-blind admissions, statusblind friendships, a rich diversity of cultures and perspectives, and extensive co-curriculars that offer each student the opportunity to be all they can be. All in a loving and spirit-filled community.
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION SLUH’s 32-acre campus is situated in Forest Park South in the city of St. Louis. It allows us to cultivate relationships and offer opportunities in many unique ways:
• Forest Park provides our teams with a glorious backyard in which to play and practice. • Internships and career interests are right around the corner at Washington University Medical Center, Saint Louis University and various midtown corporations. • Students easily access the Saint Louis Art Museum, Missouri Botanical Garden or the Saint Louis Science Center in classwork or club activities.

STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES A team of school counselors, college counselors and learning consultants support the academic and emotional well-being of each student and provide personal guidance in developing study habits, forming good technology use, creating course schedules, examining career choices and choosing a college or university.
SLUH students are offered three distinct areas of support: • School Counselors are the first point of contact for a Jr. Billiken and assist parents/ students with their transition to SLUH. They also promote and support students’ success and wellness over their 4 years. • College Counselors help students and parents with the planning, discernment and application process while developing relationships with colleges and universities. •O ur comprehensive Learning Center provides students with learning and study skills that promote success in their four years.

FAITH
See SLUH’s 2019 senior class practicing their faith in service of others.
FIND GOD IN ALL THINGS Every afternoon, silence fills the entire school for two minutes. It’s a special moment dedicated to the Examen of Consciousness, a self-examination inspired by St. Ignatius. Then, each day for closing prayer, the hallways and classrooms echo with the sound of our Jr. Bills dedicating all of their thoughts, words and actions “To the Greater Glory of God.” Prayer and reflection are just two ways Campus Ministry further develop faith, spirituality and a sense of social justice in our students. Through a comprehensive program of liturgy, prayer, retreats and service, we form Men for and with Others while fostering the love of God, others and self.
FAITH IN ACTION SLUH students serve communities at over 80 different sites throughout the city of St. Louis, neighboring states, and globally. Our students are guided along a four-year service model with three years of foundation to propel students into their Senior Service Project. These experiences help SLUH students strive to live our motto of being “Men for Others.”

LEADERSHIP PURSUE YOUR INTERESTS Each Jr. Billiken is unique with a wide variety of interests and talents. Many of life’s most important lessons are taught outside the classroom. Opportunities for students to become leaders are unlimited. It’s also why our Jr. Bills form a deep sense of spirit and brotherhood—and have lots of fun—throughout their four years.
Whether it’s attending a retreat, slapping on some blue paint and outrageous attire for a pep rally, or working on the student newspaper well into the night, SLUH provides opportunities for each student to define who they become.
