History / Mission Statement

History
Since its founding is 1954, St. Ignatius Parish School has served the families of St. Ignatius Parish and the surrounding community. The school flourishes with a qualified and dedicated lay faculty, a policy-making school board, and the presence of the Jesuit fathers. St. Ignatius School boasts many graduates who have gone on to become leaders in their high schools, universities, and in their communities. Many return seeking the same quality education for their own children.  

Mission Statement
St.Ignatius Parish School is a Roman Catholic Elementary School that actively strives to teach as Jesus taught.  In the tradition of its patron, St. Ignatius of Loyola, the educational processes of St. Ignatius  School are committed to developing students of faith, action, integrity, thought, and health.   In an environment that integrates the shared faith and values into the life and culture of the community, St. Ignatius Parish School provides a quality Catholic educational experience for all its families.

Religion
Religion is more than an area of the curriculum at St. Ignatius School. It is what dictates every facet of the school program. From the formal religious instruction to the prayers before basketball games, the influence of the teachings of Christ is pervasive. The students are taught to see Christ in others and to respect and care for all of God's creation. Parents are invited to worship with the students at weekday masses and at the monthly school liturgies.

Curriculum

The curriculum at St. Ignatius School is traditional and challenging while still dynamic and creative. The kindergarten through fourth grades are primarily self-contained classes with aides assisting the classroom teachers part of the day. The upper grades, fifth through eighth, are departmentalized.
