School Notes
Bishop Ireton has a vibrant spiritual life rooted in Catholic
values and enriched by our affiliation with the Oblates of St.
Francis de Sales who founded our school over 50 years ago. We
have a long standing reputation as a top school academically
resulting in nearly all of our graduates attending college, where
they earn millions in scholarships. Our students are nearly
universally involved in school activities outside of the classroom
- from sports and clubs to fine arts and community service - and we
are known for having a very welcoming and close knit
community. Our students commonly refer to BI as their second
family. As you investigate us further I`m sure these traits
will become obvious.
