The founding of St. Ignatius High School
St. Ignatius is founded as a six-year school by a German Jesuit named Fr. Henry Behren. The reason for it being six years rather than four is that it functioned as a college as well as a high school. The school resides on west 30th street in Cleveland, Ohio. -
