In the few moments leading up to Morning Assembly, Master Gunnery Sergeant J.R. Piseno reminds this group of pre-freshmen that it’s Friday by going down the line to fist bump each student. Morning Assembly is a tradition that dates all the way back to the days when Jesuit was located on the corner of Baronne and Common streets. There students would gather in the courtyard to hear announcements before beginning the cycle of classes. Now students gather in the Traditions Courtyard every Monday and Friday to get school announcements, hear results of their classmates’ competitions, and be together as a community.
