Welcome from the Principal

Welcome to the award-winning St. Ignatius of Loyola School and thank you for your interest!  We understand that selecting the right school for your student is a big decision and we are glad that you are exploring Catholic education.  

To prepare our students for  success in an ever-changing world, we value and promote collaboration with one another, creative problem solving and technology integration.  With a tradition of outstanding Catholic education for over 65 years, St. Ignatius School prepares students to attain their spiritual, academic, social-emotional, physical and artistic potential to make the world a better place.  With a focus on whole child development and adapting to the changing world, St. Ignatius School has received many awards such as the National Blue Ribbon Award for Excellence.

St. Ignatius is not only a school of over 1,000 students, but it is also a loving family where students, staff, parents, grandparents, and many others work together to promote the mission of the school: Educating each student by helping them develop their faith and by teaching academic skills that last a lifetime.  Ultimately, we value the opportunity to collaborate  with our families and support each other as we all journey to meet, know, love and serve Jesus Christ.  Our students and their families learn and practice the faith in their daily interactions.

Inclusive education is practiced in our building, as expressed in our core values. We welcome  the diverse talents, abilities, and backgrounds of all children.  We live out the mandate by Christ, to love the Lord your God and love your neighbor as yourself.  This comprehensive approach provides an environment where each student’s unique abilities are both embraced and challenged, building the foundation for greater self-worth and life-long happiness.  We are so blessed to have highly trained teachers, intervention specialists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, speech and language therapists, school psychologists, visual impairment specialists and an audiologist — these committed and dedicated teachers and staff support and challenge children to attain their fullest potential.  

I welcome you to our website and invite you to take some time to get to know St. Ignatius School.  I encourage you to visit our joyful learning community that supports its students in discovering his or her unique gifts and learning to use these gifts for personal success, to help others at school, or to serve people in need in the greater community.  

In Christ’s Peace,

Kevin Vance
