Focused on Mission and Identity Christian Bautista ’06 Named Director of Institutional Advancement alking the halls of Jesuit High School in the latter weeks of summer, it is impossible to miss the buzz of anticipation in the air. In Jesuit’s 175th year in particular, these July days on Carrollton & Banks are characterized by an increasingly spirited ebullience, foreshadowing the upcoming occasions to celebrate the 56 | J A Y N O T E S | S P R I N G / S U M M E R 2 0 2 2
anniversary of the school’s founding. This excitement stands out against the backdrop of the world at large, which has marked these past years with bleak commentary framed in cynical headlines. In contrast, Jesuit’s redoubled commitment to its mission has given rise to nothing short of a renaissance of identity. Named Jesuit’s director of communications two years
ago and entrusted with discerning and articulating the school’s identity and mission during this rebirth, Christian Bautista ’06 has been charged with setting out a bold vision for the school’s future as he assumes the role of Jesuit’s Director of Institutional Advancement. “I am humbled and honored by this opportunity to continue to serve my alma mater,” said Bautista. “The gravity of the work we do here is never lost on me, and between the passion of our exceptional advancement team and the inspirational support of Jesuit’s parents, alumni, and benefactors, I am constantly reminded how special this place is.”
