During the fall of 1946, Bishop Timon High School officially opened its doors with a class of 76 freshmen. In June of 1950, Bishop O'Hara proudly awarded diplomas to the first graduating class of Bishop Timon High School.

Enrollment at Timon grew to over 1,100 students. To accommodate this growth, Timon opened an annex named after Monsignor Nash of Holy Family Parish. The halls of Timon were alive with an energy and school spirit that was fostered by the Friars. 

As a Catholic High School steeped in the Franciscan tradition, Bishop Timon focused on the development of the total person. An excellent academic program was coupled with a wide variety of extra-curricular activities and a strong foundation of Christian values. Timon provided young men with the challenges and skills needed to excel in all areas of their lives. Franciscan Friars and lay teachers were dedicated to Timon's mission as they created an environment that nurtured the academic, personal, and spiritual growth of each student.

In 1991, Bishop Timon became incorporated as an independent Catholic High School governed by a Board of Trustees. In 1993, the Board voted to add Saint Jude to the school's name. Today, the "Timon Tradition" lives on as our lay faculty and staff continue to promote quality Catholic education in the 21st Century.
