Bishop Ireton High School

BI was packed with new students and their families last night! Our Admissions team put on a great New Parent Orientation and new student event. While the parents learned about the ins and outs of Bishop Ireton, our new Cardinals got to know each other with icebreaker games and more led by our Student Life team! After the presentation and the student activities, everyone enjoyed Chick-fil-A in Murphy Hall to close out the night. We're excited to officially welcome our new students to the nest in August!

Congratulations to Fr. William Metzger, OSFS, who celebrated the 55th anniversary of his ordination on June 5! Father Metzger remains the longest serving principal in BI history (1989-2000) and he was pivotal in the school's transition from all-boys to co-ed in the early 1990s.

to last week's amazing 2026 graduation with this recap! Farewell for now, Class of 2026. We'll see you soon on Cambridge Road where you'll always have a home. Go Cardinals!

2026 Bishop Ireton High School Graduation The Class of 2026 officially graduated from Bishop Ireton on May 29...

At the 2026 Commencement Exercises, we presented the Salesian Medal, considered by the Oblates of St. Francis de Sales to be the highest honor bestowed on any student, to Daniel Santillan. This honor is given to individuals who have most adhered to the virtues of St. Francis de Sales in spirit, action and attitude. Congratulations to Daniel, a terrific young man and a true Bishop Ireton Cardinal!

Great story about two of our just graduated seniors!

A dynamic duo: Meet sensational seniors Tommy and Regan Schultz - Arlington Catholic Herald Since kindergarten, siblings Regan, 17, and Tommy Schultz, 19, have attended the same school. For Regan, “it's just a big part of my life.” Now, the two prepare to split for different universities.

Congratulations to senior Mary Kate Costello who was given the St. Thomas More-St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Award at graduation this past Friday! This award, presented to a graduating senior at each diocesan high school, is given to a person who shows “deep love for our Eucharistic Lord, devotion to our Blessed Mother, faithful witness on behalf of the sacredness of all human life and humble service to the poor and those in most need.”

Each year at graduation, special academic awards are given to those students who have earned the highest grade point averages over a four-year period. This year, the Bishop Peter L. Ireton Awards for general academic excellence were presented to Daniel Santillan who earned the highest grade point average in the Class of 2026 and Ethan Miller who earned the second highest grade point average in the Class of 2026. Congratulations to these two stellar students on their prestigious honor!

Scenes from Graduation 2026 earlier today! It was a beautiful morning at the Basilica of the National Shrine of Immaculate Conception as we sent off our seniors. Here's to a bright and joyful future for all of them!

Tonight, we celebrated the with our Baccalaureate Mass! The seniors received their academic hoods for tomorrow morning’s graduation ceremony and presented roses to their advisors and parents. We're so happy to celebrate all of our graduating students with this wonderful BI tradition.
