A good teacher isn’t hard to find. A good teacher understands the class, explains course material, teaches in an effective way, and connects with students. A good teacher molds students into better versions of themselves academically and personally. And Jesuit Dallas is full of good teachers. But 12345 Inwood Road is losing a great one come June 1, 2019.

For natives of the 21st century, the milieu of the 1950’s likely seems strange and foreign. The fastest car of the day, the Ford Thunderbird, hit maximum speeds of 75 miles per hour, low-speed by today’s standards; drivers paid a tantalizingly low 18 cents for a gallon of gasoline; and, probably most shocking of all to a present-day observer,...
Similarly to The Chronicles of Narnia, a small room in Jesuit leads the onlooker to an alternate reality. The Jesuit Archives, a small room piled high with aged photographs, colorful memorabilia and books from years past, is located across from the Jesuits’ Rectory. Records go back to the late 1930s when the Jesuits petitioned Rome for permission to begin...

The smooth rock from your Senior Kairos retreat, symbolizing the steadfast foundation Jesuit has provided the past four years. The Letterman jacket proudly displaying all your proudest achievements on a simple blue and gold textile. These...
Jesuit’s history is present, even 67 years later.
I stood resolute. Glaring at the menu board at the Wendy’s on Greenville. I tried deciding between the triple or double baconator. An amicable comment about my shirt roused me from my beef-induced reverie. “That’s quite a billboard you’ve got on that shirt,” an older, slightly bent but kindly gentleman remarked.
“Thanks… I...
The average Jesuit student writes three to four research papers in his career, with each paper taking around a week of solid work. Junior Payton Maher’s series on Jesuit integration in the 1950’s, written exclusively for The Roundup, entailed a much deeper and more comprehensive research process than a garden-variety research paper.
So comprehensive is his work, in fact, that...
On the opening night of the Winter One Acts, January 9th, an exhibit commemorating a legacy that dates back to the founding years of Jesuit Dallas will be unveiled.
To be displayed outside the new Jesuit Theater box office, on the east side of the Lecture Hall, are six frames, each a snapshot of a decade of Jesuit Theater dating...
