We are a Catholic, Jesuit, college preparatory high school serving nearly 1700 young men and women in grades 9-12 in becoming Men and Women with and for Others.
With nearly 150 years of history behind us, we are a Roman Catholic educational community rooted firmly in the nearly 500-year-old model of Jesuit education, leading the way in preparing students for the 21st century.
Our unique educational model combines the advantages of single-sex instruction with opportunities for young men and women to collaborate, serve, pray and socialize together to form the whole person—mind, body and spirit.
The strength of Regis Jesuit is found in the depth and diversity of its broad community of students, parents and alumni who strengthen and share their gifts through a lifelong Raider experience.
The transformational student experience has been developed thanks to a long tradition of generous philanthropic support of our enduring educational mission.
This morning, we split up into three groups to serve and head out into the Memphis community for our first full day. One group went to “The Manna House” to serve coffee to the unhoused. Another group went to “Hope Christian Academy” a K-7 school to help clean and restore the school garden for the upcoming Spring season. The last group went to “The Dorthy Day House” to clean and tidy up the residences’ houses.
We all came together for lunch at another organization we will be serving this week called, “Room In The Inn”. We were introduced to one of the head volunteers, Bailey, at the Room at the Inn, where we will be cooking dinner for the remainder of the trip. After a quick pit stop to Bass Pro Shop Pyramid where we were able to overlook the Mississippi River, we split up into groups again.
One group visited the National Civil Rights Museum, another prepared spaghetti at Room In the Inn for the community while the last group went to the “STREETS Ministry” to spend time with kids of all ages in an after school program.
