Parent Organization

The Saint Ignatius College Prep Parent Organization fuels fun events on campus. Our Mission Statement:

As a school of faith, in keeping with the Catholic tradition of service and upholding Jesuit values, the Parent Organization's mission is to organize and host events that heighten school spirit and encourage community togetherness while also supporting our Ignatius administrators and staff members. Every parent and guardian of a Saint Ignatius student is part of this special organization.

Our success is due to our ongoing, positive working relationship with faculty, staff, and administration, as well as the countless, tireless volunteer hours and contributions from our dedicated families. We invite you to join us, whether for a fun-filled community activity or to volunteer to help us make every Ignatius student, family member, and staff member feel welcome on Roosevelt Road!

Thank you in advance for helping us grow this beautiful community, and we look forward to seeing you!

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.

SAVE THE DATE: Thursday, September 11 from 6:00-9:00 p.m.
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.

SAVE THE DATE: Saturday, February 7, from 6:00-10:00 p.m.
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.
