History

Original location in Las Vegas, New Mexico, c. 1880 Las Vegas College (later Regis University), c. 1880.png
Original location in Las Vegas, New Mexico, c. 1880

The school was founded by Italian Jesuits in 1877 in Las Vegas, New Mexico. Another school was opened in Morrison, Colorado, seven years later. [4] In 1888, the two schools were merged and renamed for St. John Francis Regis to become Regis College, located on 52nd and Lowell Streets in Denver, Colorado. In 1921, the school was formally split into Regis High School and Regis College (now Regis University). The high school and university coexisted on the Denver campus, sharing facilities until a dedicated building was constructed for the high school in 1984.In 1989, a parcel of land near Parker and Arapahoe Roads in Aurora was donated to the school. That area is now called the Campbell Campus, and it houses both the Girls and Boys Divisions. In 2016 Regis appointed David Card as president, the first layperson to hold that position. [5] [6]
