In Memoriam

School Resource Officer Freddy Diaz builds community on campus and throughout the City of Cleveland. In the Spring 2022 issue of Saint Ignatius Magazine, Laura Bednar tells the story of a Cleveland Police Officer whose work in community relations is evident in the joy and care he brings every day to his work.

Saint Ignatius is pleased to recognize the young men who achieved the rank of Eagle Scout this past school year. The highest rank presented by the Boy Scouts of America, Eagle Scout acknowledges the achievement of students who have displayed strong morals, work ethic, citizenship and commitment to community.

As they depart The Welsh Academy for their respective high schools, the first class of eighth grade graduates reflects on the journey of their past three years. These first 22 students at this school had a journey unlike any other, and it has shaped them in important and lasting ways.

Harvard-bound Terry McCafferty, Valedictorian for the Saint Ignatius High School Class of 2022, ignited his own path on campus and in his local community. His drive to get involved, his audacity to dream big, and his own natural intelligence and selflessness paved a path for his high school years that was entirely unique.
