About the Scholars Program
This rigorous program is designed to provide high-achieving students with the opportunity to pursue and showcase advance studies and research in an area of choice; to be mentored by an expert in the field on a specific topic as part of a capstone project; and to present project findings or solutions related to issues with far-reaching effects or global impact, or that improve the human condition. The first graduates from the Distinguished Scholars Program graduated in the Class of 2024.
The Bishop Ireton Distinguished Scholars Program equips students with the tools for recognized success in higher education and beyond. Through focused study in a chosen concentration, students strengthen their critical thinking, research, and communication skills while developing the leadership qualities essential for future academic and professional achievement.
Mrs. Lonnell Battle and Mrs. Mary Anne Robbett serve as the Co-Coordinators of the Distinguished Scholars Program. Mrs. Battle is a member of the English Department, and Mrs. Robbett teaches in the Social Studies Department. For more information, please contact them at
