Goals & Philosophy
The Visual & Performing Arts Program at Jesuit High School seeks to develop and cultivate the creative imagination of each of our students, who then bear witness to the beauty and imagination of God alive in our world.
The Arts teach our students to be creative, collaborative, compassionate and confident – skills that will serve them in all lifelong endeavors.
The Arts provide a platform for dialogue when all other discourse fails, and serve as a vehicle for social change.
Finally, we believe the Arts are the gateway by which God is given a human form that has the power to concretely impact and transform the lives of our students. This encounter helps them discover the greatness within themselves, and ultimately, in all of humanity.

Recognized Artists: St. Catherine of Bologna Program
A new program celebrating Arts achievement with a cord worn at commencement
The Recognized Artists Program at Jesuit High School, named for St. Catherine of Bologna, the Patron Saint of the Arts, honors students who demonstrate dedication and excellence in the arts. Recognized Artists are students who go above and beyond Jesuit High School’s curricular requirements and strive for greater artistic depth as they cultivate their God-given talents. Our Recognized Artists demonstrate the magis by using their gifts out of gratitude for God’s creation and in service to the Jesuit High School community.
Requirements to earn your Arts cord
Please review the Requirements for Recognized Artists. In recognition of this four-year achievement, students will receive a black and white cord to wear at commencement.
