Brief History of Jesuit High School at Oak Lawn and Blackburn<\/strong><\/p>\n

Super Brief History<\/p>\n

In 1905 the second Bishop of Dallas, Bishop Edward Joseph Dunne, asked the Vincentian Fathers to establish a school in Dallas. Holy Trinity College opened at Oak Lawn and Blackburn in 1907 and closed in 1926. The building reopened in 1930 as St. Joseph Orphanage for Girls and was bought in 1941 by the Jesuits to establish a school for boys. The building was sold in the early 1960s in order to build our Inwood Campus. Turtle Creek Village, across the street from Holy Trinity Church, stands where our original campus stood. In 1992, Jesuit alumni placed a marker in the Village parking lot to commemorate our 50th anniversary.<\/p>\n
