[edit] History
In 1946, the school officially opened its doors with a class of 76 freshmen. For three years, Timon was temporarily housed at Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Buffalo's old First Ward. On September 6, 1949, Timon moved into its current home on McKinley Parkway with an enrollment of approximately 800 young men. In June of 1950, Bishop O'Hara awarded diplomas to Bishop Timon's first graduating class. The school was named Bishop Timon after Buffalo's first bishop John Timon. In 1993, the school added St. Jude to its name.
[edit] Campus
The campus of the school holds a new 6,000 square foot (540 m²) Center For Media & The Arts. This area maintains a working sound recording studio. It also is home to music and art studios (run by very cool teachers.), a graphic design lab, a video production lab, and a photography dark room. In 2003, Timon High School opened the Science and Pre-Engineering Center. An AP Conference & Technology room was also built, allowing the school to use distance learning with other schools through conferencing software.
