Pope John Paul Ii
School Notes Overview:
At Pope John Paul II Catholic High School, athletic competition is valued as a way of teaching and training young men and women to cope with life in competitive circumstances. Competition in our society requires values that Americans respect. Teamwork, honesty, cooperation, self-sacrifice, dedication, obedience, hard work, goal setting, respect, self-discipline, and mutual encouragement are expected outcomes for young people who participate in sports. These traits are preparation for adult life. By offering athletic programs, PJP is providing this avenue of expression for their students. PJP is not satisfied just to have a program. The program must excel. Jaguar athletics are enthusiastically supported by the administration and by the parents and community through the JP Club. Pope John Paul Catholic High School believes in a commitment to these Christian values through our Mission Statement of: Academic Excellence which fosters the intellectual development of students and therefore produces a college-prep graduate who, Is open to growth, Is intellectually competent, Values integrity, Affirms the dignity of all persons, Faith Development which prepares the students for a life rooted in Catholic tradition and Gospel values through the cooperative efforts of the Students, Educators, Parents, Alumni, Civic community, Catholic Church....
