School History

In 1847 the Fathers of the Society of Jesus founded the College of the Immaculate Conception on Baronne and Common Streets to create an outstanding institution for the secondary education of young men.

In 1926 Jesuit High School moved to Carrollton and Banks -- The Avenue of Champions. For 160 years Jesuit has continued the rich tradition of academic excellence that has been the hallmark of Jesuit education.
