About us

SJJ Photography Class

You know us. We're the students educated to be more, do more. You know them, too: the Jesuits who have given the world more than 450 years of exceptional education.

We're the thousands of alumni who have stayed up late studying for tests and practiced hundreds of hours in the gym and on the track. Now we are  in the community-the world-as doctors, lawyers, computer experts, teachers.

We're the parents who believe in the immense value of a Jesuit education for our sons.

We're the teachers who are linked with the Jesuit mission and are devoted to helping students become men for others.

We're the priests, brothers and scholastics who've walked the halls, taught in the classrooms, welcomed faculty, staff, students and parents to our mission. 

We're the marching bands who've called forth school spirit at sports events.

DonutsWe're the athletes who have won more victories in NW Ohio than any other school.

We're the scholars who learn that knowledge is valuable when you help build a better world.

We're all the workers who've loyally served the over the years.

We're the donors who continue to give life to this valuable endeavor through our support.

We're a school community. A family, if you will.

We're actually the second genesis of the same school. We first opened in 1898 - then closed during the Depression. We re-opened in 1964 at our current location.

Together, our high schools have educated more than 7,500 alumni in the last 100 years.

Our graduates know the meaning of Magis. It's Latin, and it means "the more." More is, in fact, what we call forth from our students. We want them to do everything to the best of their abilities, and we hope they leave here with a clear mission to build a better world.
