Extracurriculars & Clubs - Jesuit College Preparatory School of Dallas

Clubs and activities provide a significant venue for our students to engage in endeavors outside of the classroom and pursue their own interests. Students who have a particular interest not currently offered are encouraged to speak with our Director of Student Formation to discuss the possibility of creating a new club.

Debate Team

As we navigate the expanded availability of information and disinformation, competitive debate provides an important pedagogical tool for cultivating research and advocacy skills. Argumentation with evidence, fundamental to debate, is a cornerstone of a thriving democracy. Debate requires mastery of argument across many disciplines, including politics, law, social justice, philosophy, health and economics. Questions? Please reach out to our coaches Dr. Tracy McFarland (tmcfarland@jesuitcp.org) or Dan Lingel (dlingel@jesuitcp.org).

Junior Classical League

All students currently or previously enrolled in Latin courses are invited to join Junior Classical League (JCL). Jesuit’s JCL chapter is very active in the local, state, and national JCL competitions. JCL's goal is to encourage an interest in and an appreciation of the language, literature, and culture of ancient Greece and Rome and to impart an understanding of the debt of our own culture to that of Classical antiquity. Questions? Please contact Vanessa Jones at vjones@jesuitcp.org or Laura Hudec at lhudec@jesuitcp.org

Medical Society

Beginning in 1996 with six members, the Jesuit Dallas Medical Society includes students from all grade levels participating in a myriad of activities in preparation for the possibility of a future career in medicine. The program is now one of the largest on campus and gathers regularly to hear from guest speakers and practice real world scenarios in our simulation lab featuring state of the art mannequins, monitors, and medical supplies.

STARS Summer Research

Jesuit's Medical Society has partnered with UT Southwestern Medical Center's STARS Summer Research Program. The program offers opportunities for students to work one on one with faculty researchers on an investigative project in a laboratory setting. Students must complete a rigorous application and selection process to be invited, although past performance by Jesuit students over the years has garnered representation nearly every year –a unique distinction among schools throughout the metroplex.

Newspaper: The Roundup

The Roundup, Jesuit’s student newspaper since 1942, features articles covering not only school news but also voices and events of historical significance: Jesuit Dallas’ integration in 1958; Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson; Congressman Michael McCaul '80, current Chair of the US House Foreign Assairs Committee; WWII veteran and former Jesuit coach Herb Sheaner. Because our newspaper is one of only two non-curricular newspapers in the DFW area, students freely write about what interests them—video interviews, food & movie reviews, professional athletics, gaming, podcasts, and hyping the annual Expository Bowl where the newspaper takes to the football field against the varsity players. Join us in recording Jesuit’s history.

Orchestra

Jesuit Ursuline Orchestra

Our orchestra works in combination with Ursuline's music department, allowing for a larger and more dynamic ensemble and the opportunity to perform a full spectrum of orchestral music. Transportation is provided to Jesuit students from Ursuline after morning rehearsals to make the schools' collaboration convenient for everyone. Orchestra is an extracurricular and receives full credit as a Fine Arts Course.

Robotics Team

Jesuit supports an extensive Robotics program where students can develop science, engineering and technology skills. The program is offered as both an extracurricular activity and a local credit course (Pass/Fail). The program seeks to educate students in all phases of the project life cycle: Problem Analysis, Design, Implementation, Testing, and Revision/Support. Students who have an exploratory interest in engineering as a college major are especially welcome to seek an enrichment experience through the program.

Stage & Film

Stage and Film not only offers for credit courses but also extracurricular opportunities. Each year, students from Jesuit and Ursuline come together in three public productions held in our top of class Melsheimer Family Theater, complete with lighting and sound systems that rival or exceed any stage in the DFW area.

UIL Academics

"The University Interscholastic League offers a wide variety of academic contests for high school students, encompassing many elements of required high school coursework. These contests build upon the academic skills developed in the classroom and offer students an opportunity to stretch their talents above and beyond those requirements." - University Interscholastic League

Yearbook: The Last Roundup

The Last Roundup at Jesuit Dallas was established in 1943, and since that time has been responsible for chronicling the events that have had an impact on the Jesuit Community. Students photograph events, organize content, design and publish the yearbook together; all while earning their Fine Arts Credit.

Questions? Please contact Tiffany Holmes at tholmes@jesuitcp.org.
