Jesuit High School’s Hybrid Financial Aid Benefit Raises Over $339,330

Portland, OR. Jesuit High School held its “Financial Aid LIVE” benefit and raised over $339,330. The emcees were a current senior, Theron Abel, and alumna and KATU reporter Genevieve Reaume who graduated in 2011. Before the pandemic, the annual financial aid benefit drew approximately 600 people. In 2020 it was completely virtual. On November 18th, the event was a hybrid of in-person and virtual with supporters watching a LiveStream. Raising funds for financial aid is a serious priority for administrators; during the current school year, $3.8 million in financial aid is being awarded to 352 students.

The Jesuit High School choir was featured in the program.

Current enrollment at Jesuit is 1,280 students.

Jesuit High School, located in Portland, Oregon, was founded in 1956 by the Society of Jesus and is part of a 450-year Jesuit educational tradition. Jesuit High School is a non-profit, coeducational college-preparatory school for grades 9-12 that serves students of all religious faiths. It’s located at 9000 SW Beaverton-Hillsdale Hwy. Portland, OR 97225.

Jesuit’s curriculum is founded in the educational philosophy of Jesuit founder, St. Ignatius of Loyola, and takes a holistic view of adolescent education, which includes nurturing the spiritual, physical, emotional, intellectual, and aesthetic gifts each student brings to campus. Jesuit hopes to accomplish this development by demonstrating a personal concern for individuals, an articulate wisdom, enthusiasm, and a sense of community. In so doing, we hope to graduate leaders who are committed to serve God and their fellow men and women through a profound sense of justice founded in love, i.e. leaders who are “men and women for others.”

The operation of Jesuit High School is overseen by a Board of Trustees. The board ensures and provides the spiritual tone and direction of the school, consistent with the purposes and traditions of Roman Catholic and Jesuit education. The board also monitors Jesuit High School’s business affairs.

I’ve been a professional journalist and writer since 1987, (and long-time reporter for KOIN-TV.) As a nationally published reporter, with a Master’s Degree in Journalism, I love to report positive news and information. Journalism has also connected me with another non-profit where I served as a leader; the Northwest’s biggest writer’s organization: The Willamette Writers.
