We are so pleased to announce that for a record-setting tenth consecutive year, St. Ignatius Parish School was the Diocese of Sacramento’s Junior High Academic Decathlon Champions. 

The team, comprised of sixth, seventh and eighth graders, went on to place third at the statewide decathlon championship, which was held this year at Sacred Heart School here in Sacramento. 

They competed against the best teams in the state of California and placed 2nd place in Logic, 3rd place in Super Quiz, and 3rd place overall!
