With over 900 students, it is the largest Catholic high school in Houston. It boasts a large collection of art installed around the campus, both inside and out. Its collection is so extensive that the City of Houston has classified the campus as an art museum〔(Strake Jesuit - Campus )〕 for which the school maintains a full-time curator. The school is located within the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston. It is one of only two private schools in Texas that are members of the University Interscholastic League (the other being Dallas Jesuit), which allows it to compete athletically against the largest public schools.
==History==
The school was founded by Father Michael Kenelley, S.J., on June 21, 1960, in land donated by Frank Sharp on what was then the undeveloped, west side of Houston.
During a three-year period until 1993, the number of applications submitted to Strake Jesuit doubled. Father Brian Zinnamon, the school President, said during the year that there were two times the number of applicants compared to available spots. At the time, tuition was $4,700 per year, described by Stephanie Asin of the ''Houston Chronicle'' as being steep.〔 Father Zinnamon said, "Certainly what is going on in the public schools is a factor. Parents are choosing a safe environment where they know their children are getting Christian values."〔
