Jesuit Schools Network
The Jesuit Schools Network (JSN), formerly known as the Jesuit Secondary Education Association (JSEA), was founded in 1970 to address the unique needs of the Jesuit secondary school apostolate in the United States.
In 2015, the JSEA changed its name to the Jesuit Schools Network (JSN). Currently, the JSN is part of the Jesuit Conference of North America (JCCU). There are 87 Jesuit schools in the network, providing Jesuit education to more than 55,000 students throughout Canada and the United States, and in Belize and Micronesia. The three models of Jesuit education in North America are Nativity middle schools, Cristo Rey high schools, and Jesuit middle and high schools.
Seven Jesuits led the JSEA as president: Frs. Edwin J. McDermott, S.J., Vincent J. Duminuco, S.J., Charles P. Costello, S.J., Carl E. Meirose, S.J., Joseph F. O’Connell, S.J., Ralph E. Metts, S.J. and James A. Stoeger, S.J.
Fr. William H. Muller, S.J., served as the first executive director of the JSN, and Fr. Robert E. Reiser, S.J., has served as executive director since 2021.
