Parent Organization

The Saint Ignatius College Prep Parent Organization fuels fun events on campus.

The group also has the ability to be the great connector of parents in and across grade levels. We hope you'll check us out, and join us when you can! If you're the parent of a Saint Ignatius College Prep student, you are automatically a member of the Parent Organization.

Trivia Night

On Saturday, January 20^th, the Saint Ignatius Parent Organization held their 9th Annual Trivia Night in Tully Hall with over 250 participants! There was a welcome message from the Parent Organization Co-President, Rhonda Swanson, Saint Ignatius President, John Chandler and a meaningful prayer from Rev. Patrick Fairbanks, S.J. Each team did very well and had fun connecting and laughing, and of course playing trivia. Congratulations to Team '92 Bulls on answering the most questions correctly...for the second year in a row! We also want to say Congratulations and a big Thank You to Dennis Huyck who won the 50/50 Raffle and graciously donated it back for Post Prom. You are truly a man for others.

Some of Our Event Traditions

Backyard BBQ

At the beginning of every new academic year, the Parent Organization hosts a hearty gathering with some brilliant barbeque and even better conversation! Meet our resident Jesuits and the school's leadership team. Talk with other parents about how your families are navigating the four years at Saint Ignatius College Prep. It's food, folks and fun, Wolfpack style!
Trivia Night

And the answer is???? Parent teams tackle trivia questions on one fun night every year. We've had as many as 275 people, including our resident Jesuits, battling it out for the brainy win. Most importantly, it's about sharing laughs and connecting with other Wolfpack parents.
Parent Talks

At least two times a year, the Parent Organization selects a timely discussion topic, and hosts a talk with a featured speaker. The goal is to offer a forum for learning and questions that might help in parenting. One past topic: Social-Emotional Struggles and Coping Strategies.

Every event is an opportunity to help the Parent Organization. If you feel so inclined right now, please CLICK HERE, enter a dollar amount and select "Parent Organization" from the drop down menu.
