Events

A variety of gatherings take place for the 2020 Jesuit Scholars and their parents. At the beginning of the school year, parents have an evening supper where they meet school administrators. Throughout the school year, dinners are held to honor the academic achievements of the 2020 scholars and allow time for families to socialize.

A 2020 retreat for students and their families takes place once a year. The 2020 Jesuit Scholars Program invites inspirational speakers to these gatherings; it is an objective of the program to continue the education of parents in regard to the needs of their sons. Parents also become involved in the SJJ Fathers Club and Mothers Club.
