OVERVIEW >>
Arrupe Jesuit High School was founded in 2003 by the Missouri Proivnce of the Society of Jesus, more commonly known as the Jesuits, to serve the economically disadvantaged, racially and culturally diverse youth of Denver's central city neighborhoods and to enhance the human, intellectual, and spiritual capacities of the families it serves while respecting and promoting cultural diversity. Arrupe takes its name from Fr. Pedro Arrupe, S.J., a Spanish Jesuit who served as the order's Superior General. The school opened its doors in 2003 to a freshman class. By fall, 2006, the school will be full constituted with four classes. Arrupe is the 47th Jesuit high school in the United States and the 5th Cristo Rey model school.
