DEVELOP LIFE-LONG FRIENDSHIPS AND CONNECTIONS
SLUH’s tradition has been, and its vision remains, that Jesuit education be available to talented students from all backgrounds. Our students come from 95 different zip codes and 171 grade schools on both sides of the river and internationally. Their parents range from corporate executives and university professors, to plumbers and cab drivers. While these young men live miles apart, in two-story homes and single-room apartments, they share one common theme: they have great intellectual ability and desire to become Men for Others.
