History
The school started in 1991 and is housed with two other magnet schools at the Rondo Education Center. The building, formerly the world distribution headquarters for Control Data Corporation, was purchased by the school district in 1990. After extensive remodeling this previous industrial complex became the Rondo Education Center and opened in 1991. The center was named after Joseph Rondo, who owned a large tract of land northeast of the Cathedral.
