Jesuit High School is a private, Catholic, all-male high school run by the U.S. Central and Southern Province of the Society of Jesus in Tampa, Florida. The school was established in 1899 by the Jesuits and operates independently of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Saint Petersburg. The school teaches a college preparatory curriculum and has been named a Blue Ribbon School of Excellence.[3]
The Jesuit motto is Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam which means "For the Greater Glory of God". The school encourages its students to be "Men For Others", which is a student model derived from a 1973 speech given by Jesuit Father General Pedro Arrupe.[4] Arrupe led the Jesuits in the transitional years after the Second Vatican Council, from 1965 to 1983, when the Jesuit order incorporated that Council's teachings into its institutions.
