Complete 2019-2020 Annual Report Arrupe 2019-2020 Jesuit High School Annual Report The school that works in Denver! LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your being, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself. Luke 10: 25 While teaching about the way we should lead our lives, Jesus shares with the crowd the parable of the Good Samaritan, challenging those around him to expand their view of the world, and embrace their responsibility for the care of others. Jesus promotes a vision of the world where everyone is treated with compassion, and no one is forsaken. When reviewing the past year, and considering the graces bestowed upon Arrupe Jesuit, I am drawn to the Gospel. My reflections on the success of our school, and the accomplishments of our students always reveal the same truth: Arrupe Jesuit High School thrives because so many of you respond as the Good Samaritan responded. You choose to embrace our students and families because the mission of Arrupe calls each of us to work as a community. Prior to the arrival of COVID-19, Arrupe Jesuit was in the midst of a wonderful year. With your help, our students were fully employed through the Work Study program and we celebrated a brilliant Magis Night. COVID-19 introduced many new challenges to our community, including distance-learning and a cessation of CWSP for the remainder of the 2019-20 school year. Despite those challenges, we graduated 100 Seniors in July at our first ever Drive-In ceremony, an occasion we hope never to repeat! You will read in the stories that follow an account of students who love their school, and are determined to make the most of the opportunities available to them. I pray that you will also see yourselves, working in partnership with our students as faithful neighbors. With gratitude, Michael J. O’Hagan 2019-2020 BOARD OF TRUSTEES Susan G.

The time of the Church began at the moment when the promises and predictions that so explicitly referred to the Counselor, the Spirit of truth, began to be fulfilled in complete power and clarity upon the Apostles, thus determining the birth of the Church. The Acts of the Apostles speak of this at length and in many passages, which state that in the mind of the first community, whose convictions Luke expresses, the Holy Spirit assumed the invisible-but in a certain way "perceptible"-guidance of those who after the departure of the Lord Jesus felt profoundly that they had been left orphans. With the coming of the Spirit they felt capable of fulfilling the mission entrusted to them. They felt full of strength. It is precisely this that the Holy Spirit worked in them and this is continu- ally at work in the Church, through their successors. For the grace of the Holy Spirit which the Apostles gave to their collaborators through the imposition of hands continues to be transmitted in Episcopal Ordination. The bishops in turn by the Sacrament of Orders render the sacred ministers sharers in this spiritual gift and, through the Sacrament of Confirmation, ensure that all who are reborn of wa- ter and the Holy Spirit are strengthened by this gift.

  • Bulletin, 2012 – 2013
    Preamble to the Constitution Jesuit Secondary Education Association Prior to writing the Constitution of the new Jesuit Secondary Education Association, we, the assembled Jesuits of the Secondary School Commission, wish to elaborate on the essential nature of this Association in a preamble. We believe that this undertaking, the formation of the Jesuit Secondary Education Association, should be attempted only if educators in Jesuit Schools are clearly committed to secondary education as a significant and effective apostolate, and only if this Association can provide those unique services which will further the specifically Jesuit character of their educational efforts. Those of us assembled here believe that Jesuit secondary education not only has a future, but that it can become a dynamic means of forming a community of believers in Jesus Christ, as Risen Lord, and of leaders in society. To accomplish this, however, the schools must adopt bold approaches in education, seeking to develop and assert specifically Ignatian qualities in their educational programs. We believe that the Jesuit Secondary Education Association can assist in the clarification, development, and implementation of particularly Jesuit approaches in their education apostolate, and that should be its primary concern. Without attempting to deny the many serious problems Jesuit schools are facing, we nevertheless feel impelled to assert that these schools can face a bold and challenging future if they will be true to their particularly Jesuit heritage; that is, if they

  • Pine Creek High School Student-Athlete Named Gatorade Colorado Baseball Player of the Year
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE [email protected] PINE CREEK HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT-ATHLETE NAMED GATORADE COLORADO BASEBALL PLAYER OF THE YEAR CHICAGO (May 23, 2019) — In its 34th year of honoring the nation’s best high school athletes, The Gatorade Company, today announced Riley Cornelio of Pine Creek High School as its 2018-19 Gatorade Colorado Baseball Player of the Year. Cornelio is the third Gatorade Colorado Baseball Player of the Year to be chosen from Pine Creek High School. The award, which recognizes not only outstanding athletic excellence, but also high standards of academic achievement and exemplary character demonstrated on and off the field, distinguishes Cornelio as Colorado’s best high school baseball player. Now a finalist for the prestigious Gatorade National Baseball Player of the Year award to be announced in May, Cornelio joins an elite alumni association of state award-winners in 12 sports, including Derek Jeter (1991-92, Kalamazoo High School, Mich.), Jon Lester (2001-02, Bellarmine Preparatory School, Wash.), David Price (2003-04, Blackman High School, Tenn.), Clayton Kershaw (2005-06, Highland Park High School, Texas), Rick Porcello (2006-2007, Seaton Hall Preparatory School, N.J.) and Kris Bryant (2009-10, Bonanza High School, Nev.).

  • Annual Report
    Arrupe 2015-2016 Jesuit High School Annual Report the school that works in denver! LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT Supporters of Arrupe, 2015-2016 was special. After being heavily focused on construction for a few years through our Working for the Future campaign, we thought we were ready to move on to life after hard hats, drilling, and dust. But God had a different plan in mind and we weren’t quite there yet. Thanks to the incredible generosity of a benefactor, our construction continued to complete final renovations on several spaces not included in our Working for the Future campaign (existing classrooms, science labs, computer lab, elevator and more). Our school has been transformed into the space our students deserve and if you haven’t already, I hope you’ll come by for a tour in coming weeks. Through it all, the students of Arrupe Jesuit remained grateful, determined, faithful, and steadfast in their work towards a brighter future. They attended retreats with their classmates, planned and participated in all school masses, made it to the playoffs in Boys Soccer, hosted Prom at the Museum of Nature & Science, livestreamed the Pope’s speech to Congress, heard from a Holocaust survivor, finished 8th at the Robotics State competition, went to work at 120 CWSP partner organizations, and for the tenth consecutive year 100% of Seniors graduated on time and were accepted into college (70% of which were the first in their families to graduate high school!). We heard from alumni all over the world. Several received various leadership awards at their colleges, one studied abroad in Israel, one completed an internship in Panama City, five are currently enrolled in graduate school programs, one bought her first home, and seven are now in management roles supervising AJHS students at the very employers they worked for through CWSP.
