Murder, forensics, and the interrogation of possible suspects? Sounds like your typical CSI episode. But no! This is just your regular forensic science class at Jesuit. This year, in Ms. Boyle’s forensic science class, instead of taking a final exam like most classes would, the class had to complete an investigation using their knowledge in forensics.
The class’ final was...
"Hey! Can I borrow your drill (or hot glue gun, or a couple zipties/screws)?"
"Are you gonna use this , or do you need it?"

It’s vivifying.” Mr. Andrew Katz summed up his opinion of his Jesuit teaching career as he prepared to leave the school to pursue his Ph.D. in engineering and education. Mr. Katz’s teaching experience has been dedicated to helping high school...
“The Jesuit Engineering PMM course explores some of the most dynamic topics in engineering today. Throughout the course, students probe underlying issues to complex problems including the global energy crisis, public policy as it relates to advancements in medical research, and the impact of emerging technologies on various economies.

With blood splatter everywhere, with open wounds all over the body, a despicable murder has taken place on the Jesuit campus. But who could commit such an atrocious crime? That is what the students enrolled in Mrs. Boyle’s forensics science course are trying to find out this December. By combining their knowledge of fingerprinting, decomposition, DNA analysis, and other...
Okay. While poison and acid may not have been in there, their molecular structures were. Rows upon rows of styrofoam ball-and-stick models in front of colorful tri-fold poster boards covered the blue carpet, adding up to more than 270 projects total.
On April 18th and 19th, sophomore chemistry students displayed their completed molecule projects. Each student was given their own...
