School Counseling

A message from Interim Director of School Counseling Jessie Walsh...

“The Jesuit, Latin term, Cura Personalis, meaning care for the whole person, guides the work of school counselors at Saint Ignatius College Prep. We strive to build relationships with students to foster healthy academic, social and emotional development. 

Our office is often the first point of contact for parent/guardian and student questions. We strive to facilitate student success in and outside the classroom.”
“We have an open-door policy. Our dedicated counselors would love to connect with you.”
