Real World Wednesday
"Real World Wednesdays" is a program meant to connect current Bishop Ireton students with a diverse group of people beyond the classroom who can spark their interest further or even assist them in the future. Bishop Ireton is blessed with alumni, parents, faculty, staff and community leaders who can share their story and even share an interest or hobby with our students. As a college preparatory institution, we know that our students are interested in different fields of study and are exploring different career paths, service programs and possible spiritual vocations.
In October 2023, Real World Wednesdays was rebooted as a long-form podcast.
