Saint Ignatius College Prep - Chicago

STATE CHAMP…A huge Wolfpack congratulations to Girls Track & Field’s Maliyah Miller for winning the 400 meter race at the IHSA 3A State Championships this past weekend at Eastern Illinois University. 

Maliyah had a final time of 53.95, which was also a top-10 time in state history. 

Maliyah also came in second place in the 100m race as well as a fifth place finish in the 200m race.

We’re so proud of you 🏆🏆🐺🐺

A FEW MORE FROM OUR FAVORITE DAY…🤩🤩

THE WORLD IS ABOUT TO TURN…it was a beautiful Baccalaureate Mass for the Class of 2026 at Church of the Holy Family last night. These seniors have so much spirit. As much as we will miss them, we can’t wait to watch them set the world on fire.

OUT OF OFFICE…Last week, we celebrated 11 retiring members of the Saint Ignatius community whose collective 253 years of service have left a permanent mark on our school and our students.

We are deeply grateful for all they have given and wish them the very best as they enter their next chapter.

Come back soon 😘😘

WE ARE FAMILY...students walked through the Wolf Gate into a sea of smiling family and friends. Thank you for all of your support these past four years. We’re going to miss seeing you at 1076 too!

Next up: Baccalaureate Mass and Graduation.

IT WAS MORE OF A HUG OUT THAN A CLAP OUT…and a perfect way to dismiss the class of 2026 for the last time 🎓🎓

SIGNING OFF…it’s the day before the last day 💗

THANK YOU, PARENT ORG!…As the school year winds down, our entire Wolfpack community owes a heartfelt thank you to the Parent Organization and their volunteers.

From Post Prom and Faculty/Staff Appreciation to Backyard BBQ and Trivia Night, the dedication of the Parent Org and their volunteers allowed Saint Ignatius parents, students and educators to come together in friendship and community.

We can’t wait for next year! 🐺💙

ALL SMILES as we approach the last days of classes.

We’re going to miss these faces 🥹🥹

COMMITTED TO EXCELLENCE...Last week, our community celebrated seniors who committed to pursuing athletics and fine arts in university.

On Thursday, we hosted our third Athletic Signing Day, honoring ten additional seniors who will compete in collegiate level athletics. This brings the total number of student-athletes from the Class of 2026 to 35—a Saint Ignatius record!

On Friday, we recognized ten students who will continue their artistic studies in college at our Fine Arts Signing Day.

Congratulations to each of these soon-to-be graduates. We can't wait to see what you can accomplish on the field and in the studio.
