St. Ignatius High School is a Catholic high school located in the north end of Thunder Bay, Ontario. It is part of the Thunder Bay Catholic District School Board, and its amenities include a chapel. It offers the Advanced Placement programme and in 2008 was rated the best high school in Thunder Bay and ranked in the top 100 schools in Ontario.
The current chaplain is Joanna Lacaria. Its varsity team is the St. Ignatius Falcons. Unlike schools in the public system, students at St. Ignatius are required to wear uniforms, the uniform consists of a white crested top, a burgendy crested vest or a grey crested sweatshirt and a pair of solid black bottoms.
History
It is located in the building formerly occupied by Lakeview High School of the Lakehead District School Board system. The building was purchased by the Catholic Board in an auction for $1.
A renovation in 2008 has added a new auditorium and cafeteria, allowing more space for educational purposes. The addition is to reduce crowding and replace the portable classrooms currently in use.
