Jesuit High School is a private, Catholic, college-preparatory school run by the USA West Province of the Society of Jesus in Beaverton outside Portland, Oregon, United States, in the Archdiocese of Portland. It was founded by the Jesuits in 1956 and uses a Jesuit, college-preparatory curriculum. It is coeducational and enrolls approximately 1,300 students of all faiths.

History

The school was the 43rd Jesuit High School to be established in the United States. Though it was not finally established until 1956, the process of founding a Jesuit High School in Portland began in 1907, when property was purchased by the parish of St. Ignatius and set aside for a future High School. A lay appeal to the Jesuit Provincial for a High School in 1929 came to nothing. In 1954 the Holy Cross Fathers of Portland announced the closing of Columbia Prep and a plan for the Jesuits to take over the premises was discussed, but again dropped. Finally in 1955 the Jesuit Provincial Superior was asked by the Archbishop to set up a school. Hillsdale Dairy Farm, a 55-acre (220,000 m) plot to the west, some 15 minutes drive from downtown Portland, was purchased for $165,000. Jesuit and Holy Cross priests raised pledges of $117,000 by Wednesday of the first week of a fund-raising campaign in churches, and hundreds of thousands more by door-to-door canvassing. Jesuit High School opened for freshmen boys on September 10, 1956 and girls have been admitted since 1993.

Demographics

The demographic breakdown of the 1,275 students enrolled in 2021-2022 was:

  • Native American/Alaskan - 0.3%
  • Black - 3.1%
  • Hispanic - 7.7%
  • Multiracial - 11.0%
  • Asian/Pacific islanders - 16.5%
  • White - 61.4%

For the 2021-2022 school year, 99% of the graduating senior class enrolled in college, 25% of the overall student body was receiving financial aid, and 68% of students identified as Catholic.

Academics

Since 1961, Jesuit High School has been accredited through Northwest Accreditation Commission and has also been ranked 3rd best overall school and 1st best Christian School.

In 1989 and 1998, Jesuit High School was honored in the Blue Ribbon Schools Program, the highest honor a school can receive in the United States.

Sports

Jesuit won its first two athletic state championships in football in 1967 (tied) and 1968. Since then, Jesuit has amassed a total of 165 state titles across 25 different sports through the 2021-2022 school year. Its greatest successes have been in tennis, with a combined 37 titles between men (22) and women (15), and soccer with 29 combined titles (men - 15; women - 14).

On June 20, 2007, Sports Illustrated rated Jesuit the number one high school athletic program in the nation, citing success both on and off the field.

In 2016 and again in 2019, Jesuit was named a top high school athletic program in the nation by MaxPreps.

Through the 2022-2023 school year, Jesuit was a 28 time winner of the Oregon Athletic Coaches Association (OACA) All-Sports award in the division they competed in. In addition, Jesuit was awarded the Oregon School Activities Association (OSAA) Cup 17 times between the 1999-2000 and 2021-22 academic years, including an 8 year streak between the 2004-2005 and 2012-2013 seasons and an ongoing 9 year streak since 2015.

Jesuit is currently an OSAA 6A classification school and competes in the 6A-2 Metro League.
