The Roundup is the Jesuit Dallas Student Voice and Newspaper since 1942. Learn about us.

Many young men have passed through the halls of Jesuit and gone on to lead accomplished and distinguished lives. As students, we cannot fully appreciate what being “a man for others” means, nor how the many experiences that we share at Jesuit will influence us until later in life. I recently met one Ranger alum that captured my interest: a...
Father Esparza SJ '98 walks into the Terry Center on November 20, 2015, greeted by an extremely familiar setting. He gingerly walks up to the podium and looks out over 1000+ Jesuit faculty members, students, and other friends of the school, seeing the opposite end of his view almost 20 years ago as a student. The Jesuit alumnus turned...
When the Louisiana State University Tigers take the field to kickoff at the start of their football games, they are led by Jesuit grad James Hairston ’11.  Hairston was the kicker here at Jesuit and now handles the kickoffs for the preseason favorite LSU Tigers.  I had the opportunity to catch up with James while watching his brother William...

One of those inductees was Kyle Wilson, Class of 2002. Kyle Wilson was a basketball player during his time at Jesuit and helped lead the Rangers to their...
The year is 2012. Mr. Nielson steps up to his piano, takes a deep breath, then lets his genius flow out through his melodic piano tune: "Sr. Paco tiene mandatos: de-este-vaya-sepa-sea." Connor Kerl '15 sings along to the jingle in his Honors Spanish II class at Jesuit, helping him understand the Spanish subjunctive mood. Seven years later, he graduated from...
You probably clicked on this article simply because of an association between Sleep Experts, one of the most well-known and respected mattress flagships in the country, and a graduation year behind a well-known name. I, too, was surprised to learn that Mr. Chris Cook, husband of Christine Cook, founded the company that so many of us have come to...
“Teach us to give and not to count the cost.” — St. Ignatius of Loyola   Aptly displayed on the Jesuit Auction homepage, this revealing excerpt from Ignatius’ prayer demonstrates the larger goal for the annual Jesuit Auction: generosity. Jesuit Dallas strives to make admission available to all qualified applicants, regardless of availability to pay, and this auction goes a long way...
A tradition in England since 1836, the Henley Royal Regatta is regarded as one of the best regattas in the world. Composed of twenty different events, the regatta took place on July 2nd and, for the first time ever, two Jesuit graduates competed in it. In Henley, England, Jesuit’s very own Cole Reiser ’10 and Andrew Hooker ’11 competed along...
