History

St. Ignatius High School was originally built on 159 Clayte St in the early 1960s. However, in 1990 Lakeview High School (Lakehead District School Board) closed its doors as a public high school. Thunder Bay Catholic District School Board purchased the facility for only one dollar in a government auction. The school was transferred to the newly purchased Lakeview High School facility while the Board converted the older Clayte St building into Bishop GallagherSenior Elementary.

In 2008, multiple renovations were made to the Lakeview building. This included a newly renovated cafeteria with an enclosed courtyard and also the addition of a new auditorium.
