Abstract
The Bishop Ireton High School Collection consists of .5 linear feet and spans the years 2004-2009 and consists of student
newspapers, school calendars, newsletters, student directories, programs, tickets, newspaper clippings, and a prom invitation.
Subjects include student life and extracurricular activities at Bishop Ireton High School; private education in Alexandria,
Virginia; and the Diocese of Arlington.
The Oblates of St. Frances DeSales founded Bishop Ireton High School in Alexandria, Virginia in 1964. The Oblates named the
school after Peter Leo Ireton, bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Arlington from 1945 to 1958. Initially an all-boys
high school, Bishop Ireton became co-ed with the closing of nearby St. Mary’s Academy in 1990. The original school building
located at 201 Cambridge Road has expanded over the years and is now under the Diocese of Arlington’s control after the Oblates
left the school in 2008.
This series contains student newspapers, school calendars, newsletters, and student directories. Subjects include The BI Word,
The Cardinal Connection and Post-Flight Alumni Newsletter.
