The blue and gold poison dart frogs are native to Central and South America, although no worries, these awesome little guys are only poisonous when eating certain foods.

MISSION STATEMENT
Jesuit College Preparatory School of Dallas
offers an excellent, Catholic education in the classical Jesuit tradition to form a community of men with high moral principles who are dedicated to serving others.
On the fourth Saturday in May, as it has been for the last 50 years, Jesuit held commencement exercises for the graduating class of 2024. It is always wonderful to hear the accomplishments of a class summarized during the ceremony. I was particularly excited to highlight the accomplishments of the Class of 2024 as it was the class that had to endure the challenges of starting Jesuit as freshmen under the morass of the COVID-19 protocols. Wearing masks, being split into cohorts, six-foot distancing, and plexiglass partitions in the cafeteria now seem like a distant nightmare. So many of the normal Jesuit traditions that require us to meet as an entire school or class were lost to these young men.
St. Ignatius often spoke about trying to find God in all things. The Class of 2024 did just that. Working with over 300 nonprofit agencies, including educational centers, social services, hospitals, refugee clinics, and eldercare facilities, the positive social impact as Men for Others that this class had on DFW area and beyond was amazing.
Reaching the end of their high school formation, these men are now set to attend highly competitive universities across the country. Over 87% of the Jesuit Dallas Class of 2024 reported receiving at least one scholarship totaling over $40 million, which is astounding. Many will explore rigorous academic pursuits, while also competing in athletics and debate, or advancing their craft as thespians and musicians.
As impressive as these earned accolades are for the men in the Class of 2024, their most impressive accomplishment is the brotherhood that formed between them as a class and the leadership and brotherhood they extended to the other classes. I remind myself that all of this wonderful growth, formation, and achievement began under the cloud of a global pandemic. These men rose to the occasion and truly embraced the spirit of St. Ignatius.
If our world could only begin to emulate the brotherhood our Jesuit graduates demonstrate, how very blessed and different the world could be. I know that the men of the Class of 2024 will make a positive difference in our world in countless ways by their service great and small. The positive way they live their lives and their ability to form brotherhood impacts our entire world, and in their lifetime, God only knows where else.
As we turn the page on the 2023-24 school year, we simultaneously prepare for the 1,150 plus young men who will continue their Jesuit adventure. Included in this number are the young men from the Class of 2028, who will begin to write in the book of their own Jesuit formation experience for the first time. We pray that they will be open to the influence of a Jesuit Education and mindful of the blessings they will receive.
We continue to pray for the Class of 2024 as they begin their life adventure, and we ask God to bless our entire Jesuit Community, as we look forward to a new school year.
God’s Blessings,
Michael A. Earsing

Aspiring Broadcasters Learn from the Pros
Lisa Madden Honored as JWA Woman of the Year
This past fall, students in Jesuit’s broadcast announcing class met with eight-time Sports Emmy Award winner, Joe Buck. The discussion centered around Buck’s broadcast philosophies, his history in the field calling numerous Super Bowls and World Series, and his preparation procedure prior to calling Monday Night Football games for ESPN. Throughout the year, the class also met with NBC5 Sports Anchor, Pat Doney, Dallas Cowboys beat writer, Joseph Hoyt, and Chris Ackles ’09, Special Assistant to the Chairman at Hunt Sports Group and the public address announcer for Notre Dame University football.
“I am immensely appreciative to these well-known and experienced members of the field who have provided our students with an unparalleled opportunity to connect, learn, and engage in their interests,” commented Sports Information Director Bryan Montgomery, who teaches the broadcast announcing class and moderates the largely student-run Jesuit Ranger Sports Network (JRSN). “Our broadcasters are proud to represent Jesuit through JRSN, and learning about the career prospects available to them after graduation has served to further enhance their participation and interest.”
Over the course of the last year, JRSN broadcast nearly 300 free video streams ranging from freshman to varsity level competitions, providing fans, alumni, and families unprecedented access to the Rangers’ athletic teams. In March, JRSN broadcast the 2024 Jesuit-Sheaner Relays to a live audience of over 2,000 viewers, while over 1,300 fans watched the JRSN-produced broadcast of Jesuit’s UIL Region I-6A Football Area Round showdown with Coppell.
Devoted to serving her community since she first began mentoring youth in the Life Teen Program at St. Monica Catholic Church in 1997, Lisa Madden was honored for a career of outstanding service to Jesuit and beyond at the 2024 Jesuit Women’s Auxiliary Woman of the Year Luncheon. The event also recognized all the mothers from the Jesuit Dallas Class of 2024.
For over 16 years, Madden served the St. Monica Parent Teacher Organization in multiple capacities, most notably as PTO president, and when sons, Jack ’19, Will ’20, and Luke ’22, entered Jesuit she was quick to jump in, serving as parent coordinator for Jesuit Dallas Debate and Jesuit Dallas Robotics, where she chaperoned and facilitated travel accommodations for tournaments, as well as spearheading hospitality for local events. In addition, she opened her home to multiple foreign exchange students, and from 2016-24, served as co-chair of the JWA Christmas Bazaar.
Despite formally retiring from youth ministry, Madden has continued to serve as a dedicated eucharistic minister for the past 24 years, remains active in many parish ministries, and along with her husband, Pat ’86, been deeply supportive of her daughter, Claire’s ’24, experience at Ursuline Academy.

DECEMBER
Coaching Legends Named to Texas Private School Sports Hall of Fame
Current head varsity soccer coach, Charlie DeLong, and former longtime head track & field and cross country coach, Herb Sheaner, were inducted into the inaugural class of the Texas Private School Sports Hall of Fame, as announced in April. Twenty-five former administrators, coaches, and athletes were included in the inaugural class, representing the best of Texas private and parochial high school athletics over the last 125 years.
DeLong has served as Jesuit’s head soccer coach for 45 years and is one of five coaches in the history of the state to amass 600 career wins. Leading the Rangers to 15 TCIL state championships and two UIL state titles, Jesuit’s undefeated team in 2010 finished the year ranked No. 1 in the nation while the Rangers have finished the season in the national rankings on numerous occasions. A fourtime Dallas Metroplex Coach of the Year, DeLong owns a career winning percentage of 79% entering the 2025 season (655-118-60).
Sheaner is a veritable icon in the history of Texas distance running, having founded and hosted the inaugural Texas Catholic Interscholastic League (TCIL) State Track & Field Championships in 1957 before initiating the first cross country meet to ever be held in Dallas in 1958. In 1964, Sheaner created the Jesuit Relays, which was renamed the Jesuit-Sheaner Relays following his retirement in 1975 and now serves as one of the most prestigious high school meets in the country. Sheaner guided the Rangers to six state titles in 21 years as head coach, while leading many student-athletes to state and national prominence.
Spring Exhibition Features Two Prominent Local Artists
The Jesuit Dallas Museum welcomed friends from Jesuit and the Dallas art community to campus for an opening of a dual exhibition featuring the works of photographer Carolyn Brown and alumnus Chris Lattanzio ’81.
Brown is a Dallas-based photographer who has traveled the world to photograph famous places and ancient architecture. She has been a prominent figure in Dallas photography for decades, and her work resides in many private, corporate, and museum collections, including the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. A published author, Brown is esteemed for her urban and archeological documentary work in the Middle East and Central America.
Lattanzio has several permanent pieces in the JDM collection, including Life Cycle, which has adorned Xavier Mall since the mid-90s. His newest work uses the science of light, color, and sound to create a dynamic and interactive experience dubbed, Mood Elevator A highly regarded sculptor who paints with light waves using technology, Mood Elevator is programmed for lifting and calming, and is a true multi-sensory experience. Lattanzio has vast experience in large scale public art installations and his work has been featured at multiple Olympic Games, as well as museums, colleges, schools, and churches.
THE GREAT NORTH AMERICAN ECLIPSE
On April 8, 2024, a rare phenomenon cast its shadow across the United States, with the City of Dallas finding itself in the path of totality. Dubbed the Great North American Eclipse, the mesmerizing celestial event marked the last total solar eclipse visible from the contiguous United States until 2044. The entire Jesuit Dallas student body viewed the solar eclipse from Ranger Stadium, and during totality, the clouds broke for an unbelievable sight!
HAPPY MUSIC!
Our students love sharing time with the residents at The Catholic Charities of Dallas Brady Senior Center, especially members of the Jesuit Band, who brought the joy of music to the Center each Wednesday during the past school year.
STATE CHAMPION!
Kade Turay ’27 won three events and was the all-around champion at the 2024 USAG Level 7 Texas State Men’s Gymnastics Championships. Earning USAG Academic All-America honors, Kade also finished second in the all-around competition at the 2024 Men’s Western National Championships and was pommel horse champion.
PROJECT “ENCUENTROS”
Structured as a retreat around intentional daily dialogue about the intersection between faith and a life dedicated to living in solidarity with the poor, each June, Jesuit students work with members from The Quispicanchi Project to live amongst the people of Peru’s Sacred Valley – worshiping, working, gathering for communal meals, and playing. During this experience, students are challenged to examine their priorities while committing to simplicity, community, social justice, and spirituality.
DFW INTERSCHOLASTIC COLLOQUIUM
Nine students were selected by a panel of judges to present essays inspired by George Orwell’s dystopian masterpiece, “1984,” as part of the 10th DFW Interscholastic Colloquium hosted by Jesuit Dallas. The day concluded with a panel discussion and Q&A led by esteemed professors Dr. Larry Allums, Dr. Michael Wilson, and theologian Fr. Joseph, S.J., M.D.
RANGERS FOR LIFE
With our Jesuit students out front and leading the way, members from the Rangers for Life club, Ursuline, and over 6,000 community neighbors joined together in downtown Dallas for the annual pro-life Mass and North Texas March for Life. Led by Bishop Burns, it was a joyous, peaceful, and uplifting day of solidarity.
ACADEMICS, ATHLETICS, AND SERVICE
Drew Noonan ’24 was tabbed as the inaugural winner of the Passion Grants Foundation Award and scholarship through the National Football Foundation Gridiron Club of Dallas for his “commitment and determination to enrich our communities and the lives of others,” while also being honored as a 2024 High School Scholar-Athlete.
COURAGE IN THE SKY
We are grateful to American hero and WWII Veteran, John “Lucky” Luckadoo, of the Bloody Hundredth, for his recent visit to campus where he shared his message, “Courage in the Sky,” while discussing the values of leadership, faith, commitment to service, and acting out of love for others.
ALL-STATE BAND
Seven Jesuit student-musicians were named to the 2024 Texas Private School Music Educators Association All-State Band, including Brandon Bang ’26, James Corrigan ’24, Gibson Goodno ’27, Abram Hunt ’26, Patrick Murphy ’24, Ethan Tavares ’24, and Allen Zhang ’26. Go Rangers!
IS HE DEAD?
Caught in a web of wit and deception, Jesuit Stage & Film’s production of Mark Twain’s classic, Is He Dead? had us laughing, gasping, and applauding. Bravo to the cast and crew for another terrific performance this spring at the Melsheimer Family Theater!
A NATIONAL SHOWCASE
The 59th Jesuit-Sheaner Relays was truly historic. Featuring a meet-record 1,567 athletes from 121 schools from around the country, this year’s meet produced 428 National Elite performances, set nine meet records, and established the top mark in the United States in three events. Henry Beckman ’24 was Jesuit’s top individual finisher, finishing second in the 800m (1:52.81).
NEW EAGLE SCOUTS
Three Jesuit students were recognized in their parish and The White Rock Lake Weekly along with another member from Troop 719 for recently attaining the rank of Eagle Scout. Pictured L-R: Daniel Lucido ’24, Andrew Clay ’24, Andrew Gerst ’24, and Andrew Kelton, who are all members of the St. Patrick’s Catholic Community.
NEW SHELL HONORS JESUIT LEGEND
Jesuit Dallas Crew unveiled and dedicated its new racing shell in the spring, which is named in honor of longtime athletic director, Steve A. Koch. Members of the Jesuit community gathered to celebrate the christening of the new boat, which made its competitive debut at the 2024 USRowing Central Youth Championships.
EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATION AWARDS BANQUET
Sponsored by The Jesuit Dallas Foundation and School Board of Trustees, members of Jesuit’s faculty & staff are honored each year for exemplifying Ignatian ideals and a steadfast commitment to the Jesuit Dallas mission of forming men and women for and with others.

Students Shine at Texas State Junior Classical League Competition
Senior Jackson Schutze ’24 and junior Lucian Matula ’25 secured first-place victories in mythology and open certamen, respectively, to lead an impressive contingent of 30 Jesuit students competing at the Texas State Junior Classical League (JCL) Convention in Austin. Jesuit students racked up 44 top-five finishes across a number of events, while the School’s Latin 1 delegation performed remarkably well.
“We are so proud of every delegate for his contribution to our team’s impressive performance, and we offer a special thanks to our chaperones for giving their entire weekend to help proctor tests, judge art, and judge performance-based competitions,” said Magistra Vanessa Jones. “We are excited to see our students advance to National JCL Convention, hosted at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville this July.”
Jesuit’s performance at the state competition followed a strong showing at the JCL Area competition earlier in the spring, which included first-place finishes by Royce Szarzynski ’25 (Greek History Level 3), Ethan Lensing ’27 (Ancient Geography Level 1, Latin Oratory Level 1), Yifan Hou ’26 (Greek Life and Literature Level 1, Reading Comprehension Level 1), and JP McCosker ’27 (Latin Literature Level 1).
A Showcase for the Evolution in Athletic Performance
The latest completed capital project at Jesuit Dallas was recently blessed and dedicated, as family, friends, administrators, and neighbors gathered for the official opening of Dove Fieldhouse, an impressive indoor athletic training facility filled with state-of-the-art technology. Made possible through the supreme generosity of Jenny and Tim Dove ’75, the complex also includes two full-sized turf fields lined for lacrosse, rugby, and soccer.
“This facility has a wonderful vibrancy,” shared President Mike Earsing at the dedication. “Watching our young men practice you can feel God’s presence and see the vitality and joy that this space offers to our students. It is a special place, and we are very grateful for the Dove family for their commitment to our boys and the future of Jesuit.”
For four of Jesuit’s varsity sports – crew, cycling, golf, and wrestling – Dove Fieldhouse serves as a year-round, oncampus training center. Occupying dedicated spaces within the 26,000-square foot edifice, these teams share the facility with a robust sports medicine station, conference and film study rooms, coach offices (named in loving memory of Brian Jennings), the Aaron Family Observation Deck – a second-story open-air lounge facing the fields, and dedicated locker rooms for those four sports in addition to lacrosse and rugby.
The most prominent features of the building include an indoor rowing tank with the smartOar® real-time force curve feedback system – one of 60 in the world – which provides instant analysis of stroke technique and performance; three aboutGOLF simulation bays programmable to evaluate play at many of the world’s most notable courses, in addition to a putting and chipping area as part of the Spieth Family Golf Center; and a dedicated training space and workshop for Jesuit Cycling, which again leverages technology in providing advanced analytics aimed at improving performance. The Bob and Andrea Neuhoff ’63 Wrestling Room contains 16 practice circles and a competition mat.
“It takes a city of people to make a facility like this happen,” Tim Dove proudly declared at the dedication. “Jenny and I are so grateful for all of the donors who joined us in making this wonderful facility a reality and we hope others will see our example and continue to consider Jesuit as a beneficiary for their kindness. Jesuit forms young men for the future, and while academics and faith come first, athletics as a vehicle for growth is important. We are especially proud knowing that over 25% of the student body participates in a sport utilizing the new Fieldhouse, and that so many students will be able to take advantage of the added space and innovative training solutions.”
Keeping Jesuit accessible for all qualified students regardless of financial means is core to our mission, and the Celebration Auction is our signature annual event to raise endowment funds for need-based financial aid. The Auction requires many volunteer leaders, including 42 committee members, and we are especially grateful for Michelle Rickman, who as Chair of this year’s Auction, Sparkles & Spurs, worked tirelessly to create another inspiring evening to benefit our students. This year’s Celebration Auction established a new fundraising record, and a check in the amount of $1,036,943 was presented to the Jesuit Dallas Foundation at the 2024 President’s Reception. We are thankful for our underwriters, donors, and attendees for the profound difference their support makes in the lives of our young men.
Debate Earns Top 10 Rankings at State and National Championships
The team of Peter Loh ’24 (L) and Luke Lastelick ’25 (R) finished in a tie for ninth place after advancing to the round of 16 at the 2024 National Debate Coaches Association National Championships this past April at Indiana University in Bloomington. The duo opened their run with a win over New Trier (Ill.) in the opening round before picking up additional preliminary round victories over St. Mark’s School of Texas, The Barstow School (Mo.), and Lexington High School (Mass.).
The duo’s performance followed a ninth-place finish at the Texas Forensic Association State Championships in Houston against 88 of the top programs in the state. The team of Caden Cutchall ’24 and Kyle Ma ’24 also finished in a tie for ninth, while all four students earned all-state honors. The pair of top 10 finishes extended a 25year streak of at least one team from Jesuit Dallas finishing in the top 20 at the state championships – the longest streak for any public or private school in the history of the competition.
Jesuit’s novice and junior varsity teams also enjoyed a fantastic season, which culminated in one of the program’s most successful trips at the First and Second Year National Championships in Atlanta. The team of Dylan Joseph ’27 and Akshaj Nandigam ’27 finished a program-best third overall after reaching the semifinals in the First Year Division, while the teams of Langdon Carver ’26 and Alex Ramsey ’26 and Henry Banse ’26 and Carter Weiss ’25 finished tied for ninth in the Second Year Division. In addition to the team awards, five Jesuit debaters earned top 20 individual speaker awards.
artquest REVISITS THE MUSEUM OF BIBLICAL ART
The Jesuit Dallas Museum (JDM) is distinguished by the depth and range of its art collection with more than 700 pieces from internationally celebrated artists that share space with a rich trove of Native American works. The JDM hosts ArtQuest each spring, which raises awareness for the Andrew Bark ’98 Memorial Scholarship and makes it possible for the Museum to conserve the quality of the collection, sponsor exhibitions, acquire new works, and support educational programs for Jesuit students, JDM members, and the community.
Hosted at The Museum of Biblical Art, Jesuit students led tours of the Gib Singleton Sculpture Garden, which they also helped renew. Backed by the sounds of the Jesuit Jazz Ensemble, guests gathered in fellowship, participated in a silent auction in support of the JDM, and took in self-guided tours of the biblical museum. “Every day, the JDM’s collection of excellent art enriches the educational experience of students attending Jesuit by bringing life to the curriculum, and offering new forms of historical evidence, scientific insight, and artistic inspiration,” shared Director Elizabeth Hunt-Blanc. “We are delighted that so many members of our community help us celebrate our unique integration of education and art.”
EMPOWERING ACHIEVEMENT
We are filled with gratitude thanks to the truly amazing generosity of our benefactors, who give with warmhearted readiness to support need-based financial aid as well as gifts that recognize Jesuit students’ distinguished record of scholastic achievement. Thanks to these named scholarships, this spring the Jesuit Dallas Foundation was able to award over $209,000 in merit-based scholarships to selected rising sophomores, juniors, and seniors for academic and service-based achievement.

When you establish an endowment fund at Jesuit, you establish a permanent legacy while providing income from earnings to support the School beyond your lifetime. Endowments can be named for individuals, families, and organizations, and most importantly, they provide lasting care for Jesuit’s students, faculty, staff, programs, and facilities. In addition, donors can contribute to the numerous funds that already exist to support various initiatives ranging from tuition assistance to faculty development.

Office of Student Life Dedicated to Civic Leader, James P. Graham
Past president of the Friends of Fair Park, chairman of the 1994 Dallas World Cup bid and host committees, and chair of the Dallas Park and Recreation Board, among many other distinguished appointments and recognitions, Jimmy Graham, best remembered as “Jimbob” to those who knew him, played an integral role in Jesuit Dallas being admitted to the University Interscholastic League (UIL) in 2003. The stunning legislative change that was many years in the making had a tremendous impact on the School’s culture, particularly opportunities for Jesuit student-athletes.
“My father was a fervent supporter of Jesuit, and thanks to his vision and tenacity, Jesuit students were given the opportunity to compete on equal footing with the best schools across Texas,” said son, Jace ’96. “This wasn’t just about sports, it was about building character, discipline, and camaraderie among young men.”
That tireless commitment to the student experience prompted his loving wife of 45 years, Pamela, to make a deeply generous campaign gift to Jesuit while naming the Office of Student Life in Jimbob’s memory.
“Jimmy had a larger-than-life personality, and he absolutely loved Jesuit,” described Pamela. “We were thrilled to be among the Circle of Friends for the dedication of Ranger Stadium and I really wanted to be able to support Jesuit in a significant way while honoring his memory.”
Front-of-School Transformation Receives Boost from Hoblitzelle Foundation
The board of directors at Hoblitzelle Foundation approved a funding request from Jesuit Dallas in support of the School’s ongoing comprehensive campaign, which has raised over $135 million to date and resulted in new academic and athletic facilities, as well as many new endowments supporting need-based financial aid and the student experience. Specifically, Hoblitzelle Foundation’s generosity helped Jesuit move forward with construction on the front-of-school transformation, the most impactful and final remaining capital initiative of the campaign.
Hoblitzelle Foundation was established by Karl and Esther Hoblitzelle in 1942 for charitable, scientific, literacy or educational purposes within the State of Texas, and Jesuit is both humbled and honored to have its continued support. The Foundation’s most recent gift of $100,000 directly contributed toward a successful spring fundraising goal of $20 million to begin construction of the new academic, admissions, and spiritual nerve center at Jesuit on June 10, 2024.

In fulfilling the most ambitious fundraising effort in the history of our School, Jesuit continues to seek the involvement of North Texas’ most prominent private foundations in addition to support from individuals and families in the community. Jesuit was recently notified that it was the recipient of a one-time $250,000 grant from the Hillcrest Foundation, Bank of America, N.A., Co-Trustee, for Ad Majorem: The Campaign for Jesuit Dallas
The funding will directly support Jesuit’s front-of-school transformation, and through the construction of a new chapel and academic center for excellence, will reinforce our community’s Catholic identity, support the divergent academic needs of our students, and enhance the safety and security of our campus.
Crowley Foundation Extends Support for Service Immersion Experiences
The David M. Crowley Foundation has long been a champion of Jesuit’s expansive service & justice program and recently approved a $50,000 grant to support need-based financial aid for Jesuit students wishing to participate in an immersion program.
Each year, Jesuit partners with over 300 local non-profit service agencies while students actively participate in programs serving Cusco, Peru; Quispicanchi, Peru; Solola, Guatemala; Antigua, Guatemala; Guadalajara, Mexico; Monterrey, Mexico; Los Angeles; El Paso; and Waco. Through these programs, students engage with national and international partners to create formative experiences that compel our students to carefully consider the intersections of faith and justice and engage in meaningful encounters with those experiencing marginalization.
In a shared statement, Crowley Foundation Board Chair, Sandra Hallmark, and Chief Executive Officer, Delia Johnson, said “We are happy to support the students of Jesuit and their extraordinary commitment to service. We sincerely hope this contribution continues to help the young men of Jesuit to reach their potential and put forth their faith into action by serving as Men for Others.”
YOUR LEGACY, OUR PROMISE
No qualified student is ever denied admission to Jesuit Dallas due to financial need.
Speaking with impassioned pride, Lisa and Steven Meyer describe the profound impact of the Jesuit experience on young men and their families.
“Jesuit is intentional in creating an educational environment that allows each student to achieve their intellectual, social, and spiritual potential. We truly admire and are inspired by the long-tenured and highly engaged faculty, staff, and administration, who in addition to giving students the tools that they need, provided wise guidance to our family on the best way to most effectively support our son, Scott ’12, throughout his high school journey.”
Faithful supporters of Jesuit through their philanthropy and service, Lisa has served on the Jesuit Dallas Museum Board of Trustees for the past seven years, while Steven joined the Jesuit Dallas Foundation audit committee in 2020 before accepting a post on the Board of Trustees in 2023. After recognizing a gap in the merit-based awards available to students for English, the Meyer’s established the Shakespeare Award in honor of long-time Jesuit faculty member, Dr. Michael Degen.
“We established the Shakespeare Award in 2017 to honor Dr. Degen’s commitment to guiding students to build strong written communication skills and to recognize Jesuit students that work diligently on those skills. Scott was fortunate to have Dr. Degen as his English III instructor and we saw his dedication to reviewing Scott’s written assignments and to providing detailed feedback on suggested improvements. We decided to fund an additional Shakespeare Award in 2024 because we believe that strong written communication skills are as vital to future academic and career success as strong career-specific technical skills.”
As current members of the School’s volunteer leadership, Lisa and Steven see Jesuit’s immediate needs, understand its long-term goals, and continue to be open to new opportunities to make mea ningful financial contributions. This unwavering spirit of gene rosity and dedication to the School’s mission led the Meyer’s to establish a legacy gift to Jesuit that will provide financial support for Jesuit students long past their lifetimes.
“We know that Jesuit will continue to provide a world class education and we want to do our part to make sure that the School has the financial resources to fulfill its mission to develop future generations of Men for Others who contribute so much to their families and our community. Our donation decisions are easy because we are always confident that Jesuit will carefully steward and wisely use our gifts. We encourage other members of the Jesuit community to thoughtfully consider if adding a legacy gift to their estate plan is the right choice for them.”

An Evening of
Gratitude
The President’s Reception is one of our most beloved traditions. In some ways marking an official end to the current academic year, this annual celebration of the Jesuit Dallas community is intended to recognize our most dedicated volunteer leaders and to thank the School’s most loyal benefactors. We are blessed by an abundance of loving supporters, who through their time, talent, and treasure, preserve Jesuit Dallas’ legacy as an academic and spiritual beacon.
“The future of Jesuit Dallas is strong,” expressed President Earsing. “Jesuit remains in demand for the formation we provide for our young men, not just academically, but socially, physically, and most importantly, spiritually. The world has always been in desperate need of men who can and will make the world a better place as Men for Others . I am thankful to each of you for your partnership and commitment to our mission.”

Mike and Mary Terry
Honored as 2024 Gonzaga Award Recipients
For nearly three decades, Mike and Mary Terry have leveraged extraordinary leadership and a deep commitment to education in nurturing the physical and spiritual growth of the Jesuit Dallas community. In recognition of their magnanimous generosity, the Terry’s have been honored as the 2024 recipients of the St. Aloysius Gonzaga Award, which is named after the patron saint of Jesuit Dallas and represents the highest honor presented to a non-alumnus of the School.
The Terry’s connection to Jesuit spans back to the early 1950s when Mary’s uncle graduated from the original Oak Lawn campus, while her four brothers ensured a decade-long fixture at Jesuit throughout the 1970s. When Mike and Mary’s sons, Michael ’00 and Travis ’02, began their own Jesuit experience, mom and dad were quick to get involved, igniting a tireless spirit of support that continues to shape the student experience.
Mike Terry, who owned and operated the largest pest control company in North Texas before establishing the investment firm, M. Terry Enterprises, Inc., first accepted a position as trustee of the Jesuit Dallas Foundation in 1999, and from 2005-08 served as the Foundation’s chairman. In
2006, he agreed to serve as co-chair for the We Are Jesuit campaign, which at the time marked the largest fundraising initiative in the history of the School. Since 2012, Mike has continued to serve as a trustee on the Jesuit Dallas School Board.
“It is remarkable to watch the many young men who I have come to know over the years who start Jesuit as boys and exit as men,” reflected Mike. “I wish others could see the stacks of notes I have received from students and alumni, filled with stories of how their lives have been forever changed by their time at Jesuit.”
Mary Terry served two consecutive terms on the board of trustees for the Jesuit Dallas Museum from 2010-16 and has passionately worked to serve the needs of the greater community. A current member of the board of trustees at Cristo Rey Dallas, Mary chaired a record-breaking campaign effort for the Notre Dame School of Dallas and has dedicated countless hours serving mission-centered organizations across the metroplex, including Jesuit, Ursuline Academy of Dallas, St. Rita Catholic Church and School, Junior League of Dallas, and Catholic Charities.
“I have loved being part of the Jesuit Community,” shared Mary. “Whether it was working on the various Celebration Auction committees, chairing the poinsettia sales during the Christmas season, supporting sports activities, attending retreats at Montserrat, or serving on the Museum board, I was able to see the teachers, coaches, administration, and faculty at work. It is beautiful to look back and see the results of their hard labor. From the classroom to the fields to the only accredited art museum housed inside a school, Jesuit looks for every opportunity to develop the whole person.”
Active entrepreneurs and philanthropists, a family heritage of service and generosity led the couple to establish The Mike & Mary Terry Family Foundation in 2006, whose mission is to provide equal opportunities for all children, advance youth through education, and ensure a haven for those in need. Their incredible dedication to community has led to wonderful outcomes for many educational and service organizations across North Texas, although the impact of their benevolence to Jesuit has been extraordinary.
Community is often described as Jesuit’s greatest strength, and The Mike & Mary Terry Family Foundation Center, which was dedicated during the Mass of the Holy Spirit in 2008, can be best described as the School’s living room. The Terry Center is central to the faith life at Jesuit Dallas, serves as the hub for a wide range of student activities from fine arts to STEM education, and is the space where the Jesuit Community celebrates the achievements of our students and the success of our programs. In 2016, Mike and Mary restored and donated two mosaics to the Museum that hang in the Terry Center’s assembly hall, including a life-size representation of Christ Healing the Sick.
Guided by the belief that access to education is a game-changer, The Mike & Mary Terry Family Foundation Scholarship Fund was established in 2013, which fully funds a deserving Jesuit student’s tuition, while the Mike & Mary Terry Family Foundation Community Service Endowment Fund was established in 2017 to provide resources to a program that is widely regarded as a national leader.
When you step on campus, the energy is evident; the academic rigor, the best-inclass facilities, the innovation, the relentless pursuit of excellence, the community first mentality, and the sense of belonging makes Jesuit a beacon in today’s world. The School’s motto Men for Others isn’t just an expression, Jesuit informs minds and forms hearts. We are grateful to be part of this special place and to have the privilege to serve alongside so many pillars in our community. ”

Roberts finished all four rounds under par and delivered a jaw-dropping performance on day two with a nine-under 63 in building a considerable lead over the rest of the field. With a four-day total of 269 (71-63-68-67), Roberts closed the tournament at -19, the lowest four-round total in over 20 years.

Edwards, Charles Coody, Ben Crenshaw, Scott Verplank, Bruce Lietzke, and Mark Brooks.

We Play UNIFIED
by: Claire Moore
In 2021, the University Interscholastic League (UIL), which is the governing body for public and charter extracurricular programs in Texas, added Unified Sports to its competitive sports portfolio. A joint effort between Special Olympics and the UIL, Unified Sports partners schools and athletes with and without intellectual differences to practice and compete together in an inclusive sports program. This ensures that all students are provided opportunities for sports competition, team building, and community, with the goal of offering opportunities to compete in UIL sanctioned activities and competitions.
Schools participating in Unified Sports usually partner athletes from their mainstream student population and their special education programs. As one of just two private schools in Texas to be members of the UIL, Jesuit Dallas is fortunate to partner in the Unified Sports program with the Notre Dame School of Dallas, an institution that has shared a strong bond and partnership with our Jesuit community for many years.
Notre Dame School student-athlete, Daniel Perez, and Jesuit’s Barrett Rainey ’26
Rich Perry, Jesuit Dallas Director of Community Service and Social Justice explained, “Unified Sports presents our students with a unique invitation to grow in empathy and understanding. The friendships built on and off the court compel our students to recognize the dignity of every human being as a precious child of God.”
This past year, Jesuit and the Notre Dame School partnered in bowling, golf, flag football, basketball, soccer, and track and field. Each sport season consisted of 6-10 practices with coaching and skill development. New friends and new skills were developed during each practice, with everyone learning how to improve “their game” while learning more about a new friend.
Competitive play occurred at the end of basketball and track and field seasons. During the basketball season, thirty Jesuit students supported the Unified Sports basketball team as teammates, fans, assistant coaches, timekeepers and scorekeepers. Ultimately, our basketball team placed third in the UIL Area 10 basketball tournament. As partners for the Area 10 track and field competitions, Jesuit and Notre Dame students competed on teams in relay categories and in field events. Our Unified team placed in all the relays, plus had teams placing first and second in the “Turbo Javs” throw.
The year ended with an invitation for Jesuit Dallas to run with the Notre Dame Unified Sports athletes in the Dallas Police/Law Enforcement Special Olympics Torch Run in downtown Dallas. Thirteen Jesuit students gathered with over 200 Dallas-area runners to show support, advocacy, and action to champion inclusion, strength, and abilities. Samuel Loh ’25 led with the torch for part of the run, as Jesuit’s student leader. Paired for fun and support, every Jesuit athlete ran with a Notre Dame athlete, encouraging one another during the two-mile run.
“I am so grateful to be in this community,” Loh said. “Unified Sports was an amazing learning experience that taught me so much about friendship and solidarity and I am looking forward to participating in these programs again next year.”
Although so many new and meaningful relationships started this year through the Unified Sports program, one special friendship has been in place for a lifetime. Notre Dame School student-athlete, Daniel Perez, and Jesuit’s Barrett Rainey ’26, have been friends for as long as they can remember. Growing up, they played sports together, hung out, and did everything that friends do together. So, it wasn’t surprising when Barrett asked if he could be on the Unified Sports roster for his service placement this year, and to partner with Daniel. With Daniel’s dad, Coach Garcia, at the helm, Barrett and Daniel were both on the Unified Sports basketball team and helped secure third place for our team.
The duo also ran together in the Torch Run. On this early morning run, something physical became something connective. Everyone ran together. Everyone was together. Together for something greater than any one member in the group. That’s what friends do. That’s what Men for Others do.
“It was my honor to coach the Unified Sports team and see the Jesuit boys helping the Notre Dame basketball team at practice and during the games,” said Coach Garcia. “I wish the season was a little bit longer so they could have more fun together to create and share the lovely memories.”
Looking forward into next year’s Unified Sports seasons, we will excitedly partner with the Notre Dame School as they set their eyes and skills to prepare for the World Special Games - Unified Sports in Turin, Italy during spring break, 2025. We are grateful to the Notre Dame School of Dallas, their staff members, and the NDS families Each plays a vital role in building Jesuit’s community and the next generation of Men for Others .
“So many moments of pure joy were shared this year as I watched boys grow into men of character, compassion, action, and kindness,” said Claire Moore, Jesuit’s program coordinator for Unified Sports.
“The Unified Sports program supports the growth and development that Jesuit has for its students. Community is built through these program relationships; relationships that transcend beyond what happens between the buzzers, whistles, and practice times. The support these athletes have for each other encompasses more than sports. It transitions to life-long relationships, so the impact carries on.”

Dec. 19, 2023
Enclosed with this letter are two checks payable to the Jesuit Dallas Foundation. This donation is expressly made by me and my wife, Martha, to honor 1945 graduate Donald F. Flusche, Sr., on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of my Class of 1963. We hope his story will be shared with students, alumni, and faculty.
Nineteen sixty-three was an eventful year. For those of us here the most significant event was graduation from Jesuit High School, as it was called then, in the old building located on Oak Lawn Avenue. We were the last class to graduate from that venerable building.
Too many significant events occurred in that year to relate in a short time, of course, the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22 that year overshadowed nearly everything else.
One event occurred April 10, only several blocks to the north of the School on Turtle Creek Boulevard where an assassin tried to kill retired general Edwin Walker, an outspoken anti-communist, at his home. We later learned after President Kennedy's assassination that Lee Harvey Oswald was the culprit in that attempt.
Later in that month another event occurred that provided the motivation for this donation and tribute.
The Devils Bowl Speedway was opened in 1949 in Dallas on John West Road near the former Buckner Blvd drivein theater. The racetrack moved to its current location in Mesquite in 1968, but in 1963 that racetrack was still at its original location. It featured stock car and other auto races and was a popular venue for hot rod buffs.
On Friday evening, April 26, 1963, Roy Carter, who with his wife operated the facility and a snack bar there, was changing a butane tank for a hamburger grill when it sprung a leak. Escaping gas was ignited by a water heater pilot light. The flames engulfed the kitchen and office under the stands, blowing Carter out the door and seriously burning him.
Carter's 10-year-old daughter Sandra was trapped in the burning office with the flames blocking the only door. She was sure to burn to death when Dallas Police Sergeant Donald F. Flusche, Sr., Badge #1036, broke through a ticket window, crawled inside and hurled Sandra out the window before escaping himself. Carter, Sandra, and Sgt. Flusche suffered painful burns, but all recovered. For his heroism, Sgt. Flusche received the Dallas Police Medal of Honor; the highest award given for exceptional bravery in the line of duty.
Fewer than 40 officers have been awarded the Police Medal of Honor in the century and a half history of the Dallas Police Department, even though more than 12,000 have served, at least since badge numbers were first assigned. In 1963, three men were recipients: Sgt. Flusche, Officer J. D. Tippit, who was killed by Lee Harvey Oswald while attempting to arrest the assassin of President John F. Kennedy, and Officer Nick McDonald, who would have been killed had not the web of his hand caught the hammer of Oswald's pistol as the assassin was being subdued in the Texas Theater.
Don Flusche went on to serve more than 30 years with the DPD. Much of his career was in the Inspections Division, where procedures and best practices were developed and critiqued.
I had the honor of meeting Don, Sr. my first day on the job as a police officer. His oldest son, Don, Jr. was one of my classmates in the 1972 Police Academy Class #123. Don, Jr. told me about his dad's rescue of Sandra. He also told me that his father never mentioned it, except when asked, and only said it was "part of the job."
In 2004, Sgt. Mike Flusche, another son who followed in his father's footsteps -almost literally- was awarded the DPD Medal of Honor. He was shot and badly injured by a kidnapper when he and another officer were rescuing a woman and three children who had been taken hostage. His son Michael Flusche, Jr., graduated from the Jesuit Class of 2004.
Mr. Flusche was one of the original members of St. Pius X Church in Dallas and remained a member until his death. He was also a member of and active in the Knights of Columbus Council #799 as a 4th Degree Knight, and a member of the American Legion. I am making this gift to the School in his honor in the hope and expectation that Jesuit education will continue to produce men of such caliber. He died in 2008 at the age of 80.

Greetings my fellow alums,
As I write this, Jesuit is in the midst of another wonderful and busy summer. We have added the Jesuit Class of 2024 to our alumni ranks and have an eye towards welcoming the Class of 2028 to campus in the fall.
We had three very successful alumni receptions this spring: Houston, Austin/San Antonio, and Chicago! We appreciate the alumni who attended and continue to lead their communities, families and businesses as Men for Others . We are also extremely grateful for our hosts, Dr. Stephanie Coulter Brown and Will Brown ’79 (Houston), and Katie and Tom Donovan ’95 (Chicago).
In the pictures above, alumni are posing with our new alumni association flag; using the design of the state flag of Texas as our model, proudly in our Jesuit school colors of blue and gold, and with our Alumni Association logo signifying that we are bringing a piece of home at Jesuit Dallas to you, wherever you may be. To date, the flag has travelled 2,475 miles and we look forward to adding more as we plan for another Texas two-step and a trip to California next year.
I hope you have an enjoyable summer and remember to keep us apprised of new developments in your lives. Follow us on social media and keep up to date on upcoming events in our email newsletter, The Tie . Thank you, and remember, together, we will continue to do amazing things!
God Bless,
