College of the Immaculate Conception (New Orleans)

College of the Immaculate Conception (New Orleans)

The College of the Immaculate Conception in New Orleans, Louisiana was founded in 1847 as a "collegium", a French form of school combining secondary and tertiary education. It was located downtown at the corner of Baronne and Common Streets, in what is now the Central Business District.

In the late 1800s or early 1900s it was endowed with the full privileges of a university. In 1911, the high school and collegiate divisions were split and the latter relocated to St. Charles Avenue, becoming Loyola University New Orleans. The high school remained on Baronne Street until 1926, when it was moved to its current location at Carrollton and Banks in Mid-City. After the re-location, the old school site was razed, and the Pere Marquette Building erected in its stead. Today the high school is commonly known as Jesuit High School, or "Jesuit's" (mostly by older generations), although its official name remains The College of the Immaculate Conception.

Loyola University and Jesuit High School have no current affiliations.
