Jesuit College Preparatory School of Dallas (Jesuit Dallas) was established in 1942 as a Catholic, private, independent, all-boys high school under the direction of the Society of Jesus, and strives to form young men into leaders who are open to growth, intellectually competent, committed to working for justice, religious, loving, and physically fit. In addition to a rigorous academic curriculum, a vibrant performing arts program, nationally-competitive debate and robotics programs, and one of the strongest athletic programs at the secondary level in the state, community service is a hallmark of the School. Jesuit Dallas learners participate in the largest, most comprehensive high school community service program in Texas and one of the largest nationwide.
