President’s Reception

The unofficial capstone of each academic year at Jesuit also serves as our most prestigious donor recognition event, as friends gathered in person once again for the 2022 President’s Reception. Hosted at Union Station, the event provided an opportunity to share the wonderful successes of our students, faculty, and programs, and to thank our most loyal donors and service leaders for their impact on our young men. We are deeply grateful for the community’s continued trust in our mission of forming Men for Others.

The David A. Segal Family Aquatic Center recently received national recognition from the Construction Management Association of America. The 29,000ft., three-story, stand-alone natatorium, which opened to acclaim last May, earned a 2022 CMAA Project Achievement Award for excellence. The state-of-the-art facility, which was built by Hill & Wilkinson, features two separate pools and advanced video technology. The facility serves many students as a lab space, rehabilitation center, water safety and learn to swim resource, and as an alternative training venue for non-aquatic sports.

The Roundup Announces New Student Leadership

Since Jesuit Dallas first opened its doors, The Roundup has served as the student newspaper of the School, capturing moments of significance in Jesuit’s history while giving a voice to programs and student achievement that may have otherwise never been shared. What started in 1942 as a quarterly print publication has evolved into a robust digital enterprise, featuring dozens of student writers producing hundreds of articles, opinion pieces, features, videos, and podcasts each year.

The most important posts on staff are the editorin-chief and managing editor, roles that will be filled during the 2022-23 academic year by Logan Thompson ’24 (pictured right) and Kevin Babu ’23, respectively. Most high schools support a co-curricular model for its paper, and The Roundup remains one of the few extracurricular journalism programs in Texas. Despite its unique structure, the paper features a staff that includes students across all four grade levels and has been cited as one of the most comprehensive and respected student papers in the metroplex. Be sure to follow The Roundup for the latest Jesuit Dallas news.

Jesuit Dallas Museum Adds Distinguished Texas Artist

Denni Washburn and the Otis Dozier Estate has selected the Dallas Museum of Art, the Meadows Museum and the Jesuit Dallas Museum (JDM) as beneficiaries of some of Dozier’s most prominent works. The new acquisitions – six pieces in total – expands the JDM’s collection of Texas artists by including art from one of the State’s most historically renowned painters.

Dozier first became prominent as a member of the Dallas Nine, a group of painters, printmakers, and sculptors active in Dallas in the 1930s and early 1940s, who turned to the land and people of the Southwest for artistic inspiration. He was a charter member of the Dallas Artists League, exhibited his work in the Dallas Allied Arts exhibitions, and taught at the Dallas School of Creative Arts. While studying works by Matisse, Picasso, Léger, Derain, and other European artists, Dozier developed a style characterized by strong forms and brilliant colors. Several of his major works from this era focused on the plight of farmers dispossessed by the Great Depression. Dozier is the teacher of acclaimed American artist David Bates, whose works also appear in the JDM collection.
