[[File:McQuaidJesuitHighSchoolFrontEntranceB.JPG|thumb|left|Front entrance of the school.]]
As early as the late 1870s, Bishop Bernard McQuaid, the first bishop of Rochester (1868-1909) had tried to convince the Jesuits to found an institution of learning in his diocese. He had admired the Jesuits as teachers since his own student days at St. Joseph's Seminary on the campus of [[Fordham University]]. However, during the bishop's regular ''ad limina'' visit to the pope in 1879, Cardinal [[Henry Edward Manning]] of London scuttled all hopes of a Jesuit high school in Rochester for at least a half century more.

On June 23, 1953, the ground was broken on the 33-acre campus, and the first school building was completed by September 1955. The total construction cost exceeded $2.5 million. While the new school was under construction, classes were held in the former St. Andrew's Seminary building in Rochester. There, the first class of McQuaid Jesuit, which comprised 196 students, was admitted on September 8, 1954. The second school year was held in the current complex, and the school has been in continual operation since that then.{{cn|date=March 2023}}
