Our Mission Statement

St. Ignatius Martyr Catholic School, founded in the Holy Cross tradition, educates the mind and forms the hearts of children.

We believe a Catholic school offers young people the means to gain knowledge and to develop understanding and wisdom, which are essential to serve effectively and prosper in a global society. We believe in fostering: Hearts that are compassionate and nourished by Catholic teachings and values, Minds that are curious and well-trained in the humanities and sciences, and Lives that are active and committed to citizenship, service, and social justice.


Thanks to the continuing commitment of the entire St. Ignatius community − teachers, parents, students, and parish − we are able to provide an exceptional academic and religious education for our students. Upon graduation, students are prepared to excel academically, socially, and in leadership roles, across the country and abroad.
