  • Welsh Man of the Week

    Throughout the year, we identify one student per week as the "Welsh Man of the Week." This boy will be identified by teachers and staff as having put forth good effort in class, shown kindness to others, and being open to growth.

  • Big Brothers

    Saint Ignatius students serve as "big brothers" to Welsh Academy students. These Welsh brothers will hang out with the boys, attend special events together, and provide mentorship and support.
