ABOUT JESUIT DALLAS
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 2004, Jesuit has captured 72 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 2023-24 season as the five-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.
