Jesuit High School is a private Catholic college-preparatory high school run by the USA West Province of the Society of Jesus in the Sacramento suburb of Carmichael, California. It was founded in 1963 and enrolls about 1,000 young men from throughout greater Sacramento Valley in California.

The Canadian Martyrs, also known as the North American Martyrs, were eight Jesuit missionaries from Sainte-Marie among the Hurons. They were ritually tortured and killed on various dates in the mid-17th century in Canada, in what is now southern Ontario, and in upstate New York, during the warfare between the Iroquioan tribes the Mohawk and the Huron. They have subsequently been canonized and venerated as martyrs by the Catholic Church.
