Today, as part of our initial three-pronged approach to root out the sin of racism and discrimination at Bishop Ireton, the school provided a short survey that will give current students and alumni the opportunity to share their thoughts and experiences directly with our school administration.

As we have shared over the past several weeks, an important focus for us heading into this next school year is on diversity and equity throughout our community. Our Catholic teaching, which is the foundation of our school, is rooted in affirming the sacredness of all human life and, thus, respect for the dignity of each and every person. Educating our students on the beauty of racial and cultural diversity, as well as the ills that continue to exist in our society, are important ways to empower young people to bring about lasting change. While much is being done, we can and must do more.

Every year, colleges give high schools the opportunity to recognize rising seniors for their contributions to the school and greater community. Many of these recognitions include a book to assist the student in their growth while sometimes also including college application fee waivers should the student choose to apply to that college and potential scholarships should the student choose to enroll at that particular college. The faculty at Bishop Ireton nominates the recipients of these awards.

His love of the program and his work with alumni have been well recognized in the Ireton community.
