Founded in 1942, Jesuit College Preparatory School of Dallas is a Catholic, private, independent, all-boys high school. Following the 500 year-old Jesuit tradition of St. Ignatius of Loyola, Jesuit Dallas strives to form young men into leaders who are open to growth, intellectually competent, committed to working for justice, religious, loving, and physically fit. Currently, Jesuit enrolls over 1,100 boys from 170 different middle schools.
Jesuit Dallas Athletics has claimed 129 team state championships dating back to 1954. Most of the titles were won as members of the Texas Christian Interscholastic League (TCIL), a precursor to the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools (TAPPS) of which Jesuit was a member until 2000. In 2003, Jesuit Dallas, along with Strake Jesuit (Houston), became the first private schools to be admitted to the University Interscholastic League (UIL), which serves as the athletic governing body for public and charter schools in Texas. Since joining the league in 2003, Jesuit has captured 73 UIL district championships.
In 2010, the Jesuit Dallas soccer team became the first private school team in the history of the UIL to capture a state championship. The Ranger baseball team captured its first UIL state title in 2016 and soccer added a second UIL crown in 2017. Jesuit rugby won Texas Rugby Union championships in 2001 and 2010, while the lacrosse program has captured four Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) titles (2016, 2017, 2021, 2022). Jesuit hockey will begin the 2024-25 season as the six-time reigning Texas Amateur Hockey Association (TAHA) Division I Pure State Champions, while the crew program routinely ranks as one of the strongest in the country.

While at UVA, her research focused on factors associated with concussion recovery, and led her to be selected to present at the 2022 NATA Clinical Symposium & AT Expo in Philadelphia. Scales’ abstract was highlighted by the NATA’s Educational Resources Committee (ERC) for the latest science behind evidence-based practice for Concussion Management & Return to Play (Sept 2022 Edition).
Scales’ professional experiences include internships with one of Costa Rica’s professional soccer team, Deportivo Saprissa, the Los Angeles Rams, and the Chicago Cubs.
