Student Experience

Saint Ignatius Junior Shane Morrison was given one of the highest honors by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Coast Guard for saving the life of Donovan Conwell, a 14-year-old boy he did not know, in June 2020.

On the lone summer mission trip to take place throughout the past two summers, students saw firsthand how to build a home, build relationships, and build faith. In Wayne County, West Virginia, a home for Nelson and his family is just one lasting imprint from a week of service and immersion.

Rithvik Ayyagari ’22 was recently named a Believe in Ohio STEM Scholarship Recipient for his contributions to a research publication at Case Western Reserve University.

Students pursuing the AP Capstone Diploma at Saint Ignatius conduct research on a wide range of topics: incarceration, athletics, business, disease. They choose their own topic, work with alumni mentors, and prepare a robust presentation on their findings. The only requirement for their area of study? It must make a positive contribution to society.

Students volunteer to work with neighborhood children after school through sports, homework, arts and robotics

The umbrella service organization on campus, C.A.T. includes more than 20 service initiatives, which are open to all students.

Overseeing faith programs is Campus Ministry, which plans and leads retreats, school liturgies, mission trips, social justice initiatives, and leadership opportunities in these areas.

All students complete class retreats as freshmen and sophomores before making an overnight retreat junior year. Seniors are granted opportunities to lead retreats, like Kairos or Wilderness, which are based on the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius.
