Jesuit High School is an all-male college-preparatory Catholic high school in New Orleans, Louisiana. The school was founded in 1847 by the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits). It is centrally located in a New Orleans neighborhood known as Mid-City. Jesuit is located in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New Orleans, but the school is operated by the Jesuits, not the Archdiocese. ==Description== The mission of Jesuit High School as a Catholic, college preparatory school is to develop in its students the competence, conscience, and compassion that will enable them to be men of faith and men for others. Jesuit is a college preparatory school with more than 99% of graduates moving on to attend colleges and universities all across the country. Jesuit ranks among the top private schools in the nation in number of National Merit semifinalists. The 255 seniors who graduated in the Class of 2013 were offered more than $32 million worth of scholarships from colleges all across the country. Selective admission to Jesuit is based on previous academic performances, recommendations of teachers, principals, and/or church parish pastors, promise of future development, and the desire of the student to profit from the moral, spiritual, academic, and physical programs offered by the school. In the long history of the school, no student was ever refused admission because his family could not afford to pay all or part of the tuition. For students who qualify for admission, but whose families cannot afford the tuition, Jesuit has a generous financial assistance program. In the 2012-13 academic year, Jesuit provided families with more than $650,000 in tuition assistance. Tuition assistance is based on financial need only; Jesuit does not award academic or athletic scholarships.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.jesuitnola.org/cgi-bin/p.pl?i=Admissions_Brochure_Web_102611.pdf )〕 In 1967, Jesuit became the first high school in the country to have a Marine Corps Junior ROTC program. For several years, this program was mandatory for all students; the combination of Jesuit priests and Marine Corps JROTC instructors made the school's disciplinary system unique among American high schools. Guest speakers such as alumnus Jay Thomas, authors Pat Conroy, Tony Hillerman, Sister Helen Prejean, Orson Scott Card, Dana Gioia, Chaim Potok, former New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin, former New Orleans Mayor and alumnus Marc Morial, actor Jim Caviezel, theologian George Weigel, Jesuit Superior General Peter Hans Kolvenbach, ESPN announcer Mike Tirico, theologian and former U.S. Ambassador Michael Novak, and United States President William Howard Taft have addressed the student body. More recently, David F. Dixon is one of the very few non-alumni guest speakers invited to address students at Assembly. 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 (New Orleans)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
