Jesuit High Sacramento Plans Historic Coeducational Shift Welcoming Girls 2027

Jesuit High School in Sacramento will transition to a co-educational model in Fall 2027, welcoming female students for the first time in its 62-year history. The school will adopt a co-divisional system where boys and girls attend separate classes but participate together in social, spiritual, and co-curricular activities. This change, approved by the Board of Trustees, is driven by strategic planning including enrollment trends, financial sustainability, and the desires of Catholic families. Jesuit High emphasizes its mission to form leaders of competence, conscience, compassion, and commitment, extending this mission to a broader community with the inclusion of young women. Applications for the first co-divisional cohort will open in October 2026. The move is seen as a historic and visionary step that blends tradition with innovation, maintaining Jesuit education's legacy while adapting to evolving educational needs.
