Jesuit College Preparatory School of Dallas
Jesuit College Preparatory School of Dallas (commonly referred to as Jesuit Dallas or Dallas Jesuit, and formerly known as Jesuit High School) is a private, college-preparatory school for young men under the direction of the Society of Jesus and home to the Jesuit Dallas Museum in Dallas, Texas. While Jesuit operates independently of the Catholic Diocese of Dallas, it exists and serves the Catholic community with the leave of the bishop.
Jesuit High School opened on September 14, 1942. Located on the former grounds of Holy Trinity College on 3872 Oak Lawn Avenue in Dallas, Texas, the school had 195 students registered. September 1, 1955, it was the first school in Dallas to integrate, when sophomore Charles Edmond and freshman Arthur Allen, both African-Americans, enrolled.
On August 1, 1963, the school opened its current campus at 12345 Inwood Road. In 1969 Jesuit High School became Jesuit College Preparatory School of Dallas under school president Rev. Paul Schott, S.J. The new name was meant to describe more accurately the school's character and curriculum.
In 1983 the Jesuit Dallas Museum was established with a rather unusual collection for a high school, including Salvador Dalí, Joan Miró,[citation needed] Braque,[citation needed] and Moore.[citation needed]
In 1986 the "Leaders for Dallas" wing of the school added 25% more square footage to the school. It included a lecture hall, computer labs, and departmental offices.
In 2008 the school began the first of a series of major renovations stemming from its $26.5 million "We Are Jesuit" campaign. Many rooms, including the old student commons, were converted into classrooms. The auditorium was also demolished and filled with concrete, amphitheater style seating. Upstairs, new student commons and counselors' offices were built. The Arts, Assembly, and Athletic Building (AAA) was renamed as The Terry Center (or Mike and Mary Terry Family Foundation Center). In 2010, Postell Stadium completed renovation, named in honor of former school President Rev. Phillip Postell, S.J.. The stadium is now called Ranger Stadium, after light was spread on Postell's past actions. The new facilities feature elevated viewing areas, increased spectator seating (over 5000), new concession stands and press box, and upgraded lighting and sound systems. In 2011 the three-story Athletic Tower was completed, creating space to house over 2,500 sqft. of athletic office space and lockers for over 20 sports teams, as well as the 9,000 sqft. Dell Performance Center.
In October 2019 a former student sued the school after alleging that the school's former president, Patrick Koch, sexually abused him. Two other lawsuits against the school alleging abuse by Koch where filed in August and September 2019 as well. Koch, who died in 2006, is among those named on the Diocese of Dallas' list of "credibly accused" clergy. In 2022 a lawsuit alleging deceased Fr. Donald Dickerson of sexually assaulting John Doe in 1978 in a religious trip to Mobile Alabama. The president of Jesuit Dallas College Prep asked him to be relieved of his duty, however did not report him to law enforcement authority.
The 34-acre (14 ha; 140,000 m2) school campus is located on Inwood Road in North Dallas, Texas, adjacent to St. Rita Catholic School, south-west of the intersection of the Dallas North Tollway and Interstate 635 (LBJ Freeway).
