“I am proud of my Jesuit education. Those years in my life were crucial in helping me develop into the man I am today. I am forever thankful and blessed for having had a Jesuit education.” Richard Gonzmart Class of 1971 President, Columbia Restaurant Group “My Jesuit education taught me that science, service, and ethics go hand in hand. That foundation has helped me to create breakthrough technologies for our country and understand how they may impact people around the world.” Justin C. Sanchez, Ph.D. Class of 1995 Director, Biological Technologies Office (BTO) Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) “Jesuit ingrains the value of serving others in its students. My years at Jesuit as a student and now a parent have given me an awareness of helping those less fortunate and striving to be a man for others.” Brad Radke Class of 1991 Minnesota Twins’ Hall of Fame Pitcher, winner and nominee of numerous community service awards during 12 year Major League career. “You need brains, heart and soul, and guts to be a whole person. Jesuit gets you well on your way to success in those areas.” Doug Robb Class of 1975 Lieutenant General, USAF “When I entered Jesuit High School I was a shy almost backward kid, and four years later I felt competent and confident.” Fr. John Hatcher, S.J. Class of 1961 President, St. Francis Mission “Jesuit provided a top caliber education, but more importantly, it taught me ethics, morals, values, and spiritual discernment. I came to Jesuit as a boy, and left with the skills and mindset to achieve my dreams and goals as a man. I am forever grateful.” Andre Kirwan Class of 1992 Mortgage Broker/Entrepreneur Founder, No Strings Attached Homeless Ministry “It is very clear to me that my experience at Jesuit was a critical part of my formation spiritually as a man. The young men who are graduating from Jesuit today have been provided the spiritual foundation to be the next great leaders of our community.” Joe Caballero Class of 1986 EVP and Tampa Market President Seacoast Bank Four Years… For the Rest of Your Life Jesuit’s rigorous academic program has set the standard for college preparation in the state of Florida and our students leave Jesuit primed and prepared to compete at the next level and beyond. But what truly makes four years of a Jesuit education unique is the preparation that each student receives for his life. Once students take their first step onto Loyola Lane as a Freshman, they become a part of something larger than themselves. They are pushed — and expected — to be leaders both in the classroom and in their community. Jesuit students strive to excel and improve in all that they do, to move beyond personal gain and to begin acting as “Men for Others” — men who are engaged in the world, living productive and spiritual lives dedicated to the service and betterment of the world around them. This pursuit of excellence is at the heart of a Jesuit education, a responsibility integral not only to a young man’s four years at Jesuit, but to the rest of his life.
