We'd like to meet you.
Our favorite introductions happen face-to-face on campus where we can show off our students, teachers, Innovation Center, athletic fields, and active learning classrooms. Join us at an upcoming sporting or community event (see the calendar here). For spring of 2020 we especially welcome students in 7th and 8th grade to shadow a Spartan.
Your journey begins now.
Students in grade 7 are invited to spend a morning with us to learn what a De Smet Jesuit education can do for you. Choose from one of our specialized days to see which day might best fit your son.
All shadow mornings last from 9 a.m.-12:45 p.m and include:
Whether shy or ready for center stage, students of all personality types connect with our engaging and intuitive lawyer turned teacher, Mr. Welling. Is your son interested in English, acting, or improv? Come check out the high energy environment and find out what De Smet Jesuit has to offer.
Does your son enjoy science and hands-on activities? Enter Mr. Walsh's lab...where things might bubble over. Choose this day to meet our veteran teacher and 1976 graduate, Mr. Walsh, and see how De Smet Jesuit does science.
Is your son tired of sitting still? Perhaps he'd enjoy the high energy class taught by math and science teacher and soccer coach Mr. Reyes, Class of 1994. Find out what biology looks like at De Smet Jesuit where we know how boys learn.
Anyone up for some robotics, 3D printing, physics, or engineering? Meet Mr. Jenkins, our newest faculty member and a 2013 graduate who recently returned to Spartan Country. Find out how De Smet Jesuit approaches STEM in 2020 and meets the challenge of teaching complex topics to our students.
Is your son into digital media or all things tech? Join us for the day and meet Mr. Berns, an '87 alumnus and our resident reporter expert. Mr. Berns spent 10 years in the field as a broadcaster in Texas before joining our faculty. His real world experience keeps our digital media and yearbook classes fresh.
Does your son enjoy creative writing or video games? See how Mr. Dressler ’02, fuses the two in his dynamic approach to teaching English. Check out Mr. Dressler’s innovative classroom furniture and let your son decide if his daily jokes are funny or not.
Let your son discover his creative side and join us for a morning with Emily Ledbetter, artist and teacher. Learn about our studio art classes and see firsthand how De Smet Jesuit does art.
Known for building solid relationships, Mr. Boehm literally runs alongside many of our students in cross country and track. His math classroom is full of engagement, including flipped experiences for some of his lessons where students watch videos at home, then work through "homework" in class.
Looking for more?
We'd love to see you at any of our other public events on campus. Check the school calendar or athletics calendar for upcoming performances, games, and events.
