ABOUT WALSH JESUIT HIGH SCHOOL

Walsh Jesuit High School, established in 1965 through the generous bequest of industrialist Cornelius Walsh and his wife Jane, has grown from its initial class of 153 freshmen into the largest Catholic, co-educational institution in Ohio serving over 1,000 students today. For more than five decades, this Jesuit college preparatory school in Cuyahoga Falls has lived out its mission of developing competence, conscience, and compassion in its students through academic excellence and spiritual growth. The school's commitment to being "men and women for and with others" is reflected not only in its Christ-centered educational approach but also in its impressive 110-acre campus, which features modern facilities including multiple athletic fields, a field house, and a renovated stadium—all serving as the backdrop for transforming students into graduates who, as their motto suggests, "set the world on fire."
