Graduate Support:
Life-Long Brotherhood
Purpose:
The Jesuit Academy commitment to students extends well beyond their middle school years. Our Graduate Support Program (GSP) provides graduates with ongoing scaffolded support through high school, college, and into meaningful employment. With a focus on readiness, awareness, advocacy, and community, the GSP walks with graduates on the journey to Manhood, one step at a time.
Consistent Support:
Two full time staff members are dedicated to working with graduates wherever they are - within the walls of Jesuit Academy, on their high school and college campuses, and out in the community. Staff maintain regular contact with graduates through individual meetings, in small and large group settings, and via other targeted outreach.
