Dear Jesuit faculty, staff, families, and neighbors,
Effective Saturday, August 17, 2024, Jesuit High School Sacramento, in partnership with contracted agencies, will begin the initial phase of the pedestrian crosswalk construction on American River Drive adjacent to the campus between Jacob Lane and Piccadilly Circle.
SACRAMENTO, CA —Jesuit High School Sacramento is honored to announce the renaming of its iconic Loyola Field in Marauder Stadium to Chief Warrant Officer 2 Shane Barnes ‘07 Field. Barnes, a 2007 graduate of Jesuit Sacramento, served in the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment and was one of five U.S. service members who died in a tragic military training exercise over the Mediterranean Sea in November 2023. This dedication pays tribute to his life, legacy, and ultimate sacrifice in service to his country.
Parents and Friends,
I hope this message finds you well and that your summer activities have been restful and joyful. Since I last wrote to you, we have been busy with an array of summer projects to update our facilities. We are close to finishing the renovation of five science classrooms, and we are working on the highly anticipated stadium lights project. The Summer Programs have been a huge success, with students of all ages taking credit classes, college application workshops, athletic camps, academy camps, and Camp Marauder. I am pleased to report that we are fully staffed with four new teachers and one new wellness counselor. Teachers are engaging in a variety of professional development programs and are starting to get ready for the always busy academic year.
It is easy to see the deep care our teachers and staff have for Jesuit as they work diligently to ensure everything is ready for the students to return. I believe they care so much because Jesuit High School is more than just a school. It is a community of people committed to an Ignatian education that strives to form young men to be loving, religious, open to growth, intellectually competent, and committed to doing justice.
I can also add that there is immense joy in this work. We are ready for the return of the full student body when we once again hear the sounds and the energy of a new school year beginning. Feelings of anticipation, excitement, joy, and playfulness will fill each room and the entire 53-acre campus. We are, indeed, more than just a school, and it is an honor to be a part of it.
St. Ignatius tells us to savor deeply those things that fill and satisfy our soul. I pray that each of you find ways to recognize and savor God’s many blessings. Let us all conclude our summer and enter into this school year with a spirit of gratitude and awe as we once again take up this good work for the Greater Glory of God.
Sincerely,
Michael Wood ’99
Principal

Fans and the Jesuit community can look forward to supporting the team as they strive for excellence on the field. Stay tuned for an action-packed season as the Marauders aim to build on their storied football tradition.
More than 60 years ago, the early visionaries and builders of Jesuit High School started the work of placing brick on brick on brick. They have entrusted the continued growth of this wonderful school to US, and we’re inviting you to build with them, to build with us, and to build FOR your sons and the generations of students and families who will enjoy the permanent lights on our field long after our time here.
Jesuit High School of Sacramento is thrilled to announce that the County of Sacramento has approved its stadium lighting project. On June 4, 2024, the Board of Supervisors voted 5-0 to uphold the unanimous approval vote by the Planning Commission earlier this spring. The installation of permanent stadium lights at Marauder Stadium marks a significant milestone for the school and its athletic program.
