U of D Jesuit visual arts teacher Ned Devine brings a deep passion for his craft, rooted in his love for teaching and his family's remarkable five-generation legacy at the school. This legacy began with his great grandfather, Edward Dorcy Devine, a proud graduate of the class of 1890. Since then, 14 Devine men have followed in Edward’s footsteps.

Ned’s journey with U of D Jesuit began in seventh grade. However, in his senior year, he chose to attend a neighborhood school that offered more art classes, pursuing his passion for the visual arts. Despite this detour, Ned felt a strong pull to continue the Devine family tradition. In 2021, he returned to U of D Jesuit, dedicated to inspiring students to explore and express their creativity through visual arts. Discover what drives Ned Devine’s commitment to teaching at U of D Jesuit.

U of D Jesuit school counselor Carole Hosey has dedicated 22 years to counseling in various schools, offering guidance on personal issues, managing stress, building self-esteem, conflict resolution, and more throughout the year.

Now in her third year at U of D Jesuit, Ms. Hosey has found that what sets the Jesuit experience apart are the teachings of St. Ignatius, which she weaves into her work with students. By integrating mental health with spiritual health, she supports the whole person, helping students become who they are meant to be and who God created them to be.

School counselors like Ms. Hosey play a critical role in students' social-emotional development, working to ensure the health and well-being of all students by promoting mental health awareness.
