Jesuit High School is a private, Catholic, all-male high school located in Tampa, Florida. Established in 1899, it operates independently of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Saint Petersburg. The school has been named a Blue Ribbon School of Excellence.〔http://www.ed.gov/programs/nclbbrs/list-1982.pdf〕 Jesuit of Tampa teaches a college preparatory curriculum. Jesuit of Tampa has graduated many federal judges, political leaders, priests, teachers, physicians, journalists, scientists, attorneys, professional athletes, writers, scholars, actors, painters, engineers and entrepreneurs. According to Nick Suszynski, Director of Development, Jesuit has graduated 15 judges. The Alumni Association commonly refers to the high school as "Tampa's Largest Fraternity." Another factor that makes Jesuit students visible in the community is its dress code. Students wear dress trousers, along with dress shirts and ties part of the year. The other half of the year they are required to wear dress pants and a polo. Dress shoes and a belt are always required, with the exception of marked "dress-down" days. The Jesuit motto is "Ad Majoram Dei Gloriam" which means "For the Greater Glory of God." The school encourages its students to be Men For Others, which is a student-model derived from a famous 1973 speech given by Rev. Pedro Arrupe, S.J. Fr. Arrupe was the Secretary-General of the Society of Jesus at the time. ==History== Jesuit High School was founded in 1899, then located in downtown Tampa and directly affiliated with Sacred Heart Parish (formerly a Jesuit-run parish) known as Tampa College.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=School History )〕 The high school's 1899 original site is located at the corner of Florida Avenue and Madison Street in downtown Tampa. Jesuit High School had begun to outgrow its original location by the 1940s and 1950s due to increased enrollment.〔 Father Michael Kennelly, S.J., who served as the school's president and rector from 1953 until 1959, spearheaded the $600,000 capital campaign, which allowed the school to purchase 80 acres of rural grazing land on Himes Avenue in West Tampa. The campus was moved from downtown Tampa to its current location on North Himes Avenue in 1956. Father Kennelly obtained the necessary permits and designed the new campus, which he centered around St. Anthony's Chapel.〔 Jesuit High School had an enrollment of 245 students at the time of its relocation in 1956.〔 The high school currently has 708 students, as of January 2011.〔 Jesuit's president is Rev. Richard C. Hermes, S.J., and its principal is Mr. Barry Neuburger. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jesuit High School (Tampa)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
