McQuaid Jesuit High School is an all-male, Catholic, Jesuit, college preparatory school run by the USA Northeast Jesuit province of the Society of Jesus in the metropolitan area of Rochester, New York. The school is named Named after Bernard J. McQuaid, the first bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Rochester. McQuaid is located at 1800 Clinton Avenue South, in the suburb of Brighton.

During the late 1870s, Bishop Bernard McQuaid had tried to convince the Jesuits to found an institution of learning in his diocese. In 1954, McQuaid Jesuit High School opened its doors to 129 young men.

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.

In the late 1960s McQuaid Jesuit created BASH. Building A Scholastic Heritage (BASH) is the major fundraising event of the Academic year. The Average Admission for BASH is $255.

McQuaid began to admit eighth graders in 1967; seventh graders in 1993; and sixth graders in 2012. McQuaid now operates as a combined middle/high school.
