In 1899 in downtown Tampa, what would become Jesuit High School was founded by the Jesuit priests of Sacred Heart Church. Known then as Sacred Heart College, and a little later as Tampa College, the school was renamed Jesuit High School in 1940 in honor of the 400th anniversary of the founding of the Jesuit Order.
In 1956, Jesuit High School relocated from its turn-of-the-century location to its present-day Himes Avenue campus. The Himes Avenue location allowed the school to expand enrollment and provided the space to put down more permanent roots and flourish. For more than a century, great care has been taken to nurture the original mission of the school and to cultivate its academic standards, campus environment, and spiritual identity.

Spiritual Life
Report
Even casual visitors to Jesuit often comment on the strong religious identity of the school. They notice not just the external markers of identity - the new Chapel of the Holy Cross, the Bell Tower, and the statues - but the inner disposition of our students and faculty. More frequent visitors also observe the programs that foster religious growth and deepen the Ignatian identity of our school community.
