It was February 23, 2009, when Admiral Patrick M. Walsh, Vice Chief of Naval Operations,  appeared before reporters at the Pentagon to explain the results of a month-long review of the detention facilities at Guantanamo Bay Naval Base. Situated on a bay that Christopher Columbus described as “broad…with dark water, of unsuspected dimensions,” the Guantanamo Bay Naval Station has served...
“I think Jesus would be at home in the school if he would return. I used to hear a lot of things about building community and I still think that's a priority.” Returning from his sojourn at Brophy College Preparatory School, an all-boys Jesuit high school in Phoenix, Arizona, Father Phil Postell S.J. returned to Jesuit Dallas as Chaplain at the...

After spending my summer in the new Gull facility, I interviewed Jesuit's new Aquatics Director and Head Waterpolo coach. What is your Background in Water Polo? "I grew up in Orange County, started swimming at age 5, and playing water polo at 8. I started...
Many young men have passed through the halls of Jesuit and gone on to lead accomplished and distinguished lives.
