STUDY HARD.
Train Hard.
Introducing the rowing program we have all been waiting for - an opportunity to advance from the beginner to the elite level under the guidance and support of a highly motivated and qualified coaching and training team. The advantages for the student-athlete are paramount as academic rigor and age-appropriate athletic development are managed in harmony. The result is a student-athlete experience founded on the fundamental core values of cura personalis. The framework has been developed to promote, educate and train our students with unyielding integrity to support whole health. We are committed to seeking talent and helping our rowers for the duration of their high school tenure and beyond to Olympic Development Programs and the college recruitment process. ​
our mission & our
vision
Our mission is to uphold the legacy of excellence established by the pioneering female rowers of St. Ignatius and continue fostering a supportive and empowering environment for our athletes. On the water, in the boathouse, at school, our rowers learn, train, and succeed with unyielding integrity, resolve, and leadership.
Our vision is to remain a force to be reckoned with in regional and national competitions while promoting the values of cura personalis - whole health, whole human.
The St. Ignatius College Prep Women's Rowing Team commemorated the remarkable milestone of 30 years since its first graduating class in 1993. Over the past three decades, our women's team athletes have become a community of NCAA Champions, Olympic candidates, master's athletes, and lifelong Wildcat women. We are alumnae of dozens of universities throughout the United States, from the Ivy League to the Pac-12. We are industry leaders, dedicated mentors, and devoted volunteers.
