What Jesuit High Sacramento does

Jesuit High School Sacramento is a private Roman Catholic college-preparatory school founded in 1963 and operated by the Jesuits, serving primarily young men in grades 9–12 (with middle-school programming) from the Sacramento metropolitan area. It is accredited by the Western Catholic Education Association through June 30, 2026 and is a member of the Jesuit Schools Network. The school offers a college-preparatory curriculum with 37 honors and AP courses, a 14:1 student-to-faculty ratio, 60% of certificated staff holding a Master's degree or higher, and a 174:1 student-to-counselor ratio. Co-curricular programming spans competitive athletics (seven consecutive CIF Sac-Joaquin Section Commissioner's Cup wins), performing and visual arts (engaging roughly one in three students), campus ministry and service-and-justice initiatives, and a long-running competitive robotics program that placed runner-up at the 2026 MATE ROV World Championship. Reported outcomes include 99% of graduates matriculating to college, university, or military academy, with 85% enrolling in four-year institutions and 32% in private colleges or universities.

The business model is a recurring tuition model for individual student enrollment, supplemented by an institutionalized fundraising operation led by an Executive Director of Advancement and processed through the GivingFuel donation platform, plus fee-based Summer at Jesuit programming (STEM, arts, sports, and academic courses for grades 1–12). Admissions is direct-to-consumer: prospective families engage through Preview Days, Open House events, campus tours, and an online application supported by the HSPT placement test. Operations are supported by an off-the-shelf administrative technology stack — PowerSchool for student information, FinalForms for enrollment paperwork, FACTS for tuition and financial aid processing, and Helper Helper for the required 25-hour parent volunteer program — rather than proprietary infrastructure.

Governance is via a Board of Directors with a President (Chris Alling, since July 1, 2023) and Principal (Michael Wood '99) structure, employing approximately 200 staff at a single 1200 Jacob Lane campus in Carmichael, California (municipally within greater Sacramento). The school is preparing for its most significant structural change in six decades: a transition to a co-divisional model with a new Girls Division launching Fall 2027, including full girls athletics, supported by capital improvements such as the June 2024-approved permanent stadium lighting at Marauder Stadium. Revenue and detailed financials are not publicly disclosed; tuition figures are referenced but not published on the main site, and financial aid is administered through FACTS.
