Bishop Ireton High School

Bishop Ireton describes its approach as a Catholic, college-preparatory education rooted in the spirit (Salesian charism) of St. Francis de Sales, aiming to develop students spiritually, intellectually, creatively, socially, and physically. They emphasize a Christ-centered community of learning and service (“Advance Always”), pairing rigorous academics with strong athletics and fine arts within a culture shaped by Salesian spirituality.

Bishop Ireton’s admissions process begins with submitting the online application (via MySchoolApp) and fee, and your file is considered complete only once all required materials are received (e.g., official transcripts, HSPT for 9th-grade applicants, teacher recommendation, student essay, discipline record request, birth certificate, and any applicable documents such as Catholic initiation certificate for the Catholic tuition rate, IEP/504, and custody agreement). (bishopireton.org) Key dates for the 2026–2027 cycle include: application opens October 1, 2025; first-round application/materials deadline December 15, 2025; decision letters mailed February 13, 2026; and enrollment registration/deposit deadline March 6, 2026. (bishopireton.org) Regarding waitlists, the school indicates it has full enrollment with a waitlist in each grade, and it notes that applications submitted after December 15, 2025 are reviewed only as space remains. (bishopireton.org) Transfer applicants generally follow the same process, but the HSPT is not required for transfers; the school also states it does not accept students who repeated/reclassified in high school and generally does not accept local senior transfers (with possible case-by-case exceptions). (bishopireton.org) The admissions pages reviewed do not publish explicit priority/preference categories (for example, sibling/parish priorities), so families would need to contact the Admissions Office to confirm whether any priorities apply.
