School Notes

Our faith guides us. Our curiosity drives us. Our community bonds us. Every day at St. Paul VI Catholic High School, transformation happens.

Paul VI students aren`t just ready for college. They are ready for life. Our students are hands-on with their education, taking their lessons from the textbook or classroom. PVI students expand their hearts and minds through our challenging curriculum, our mission to serve, and by regularly practicing their faith.

There is a reason we say we "practice" our faith. It is an ongoing relationship, developing over time.PVI gives students the chance to deepen their individual relationships with God. They learn what their faith means to them through worship, meaningful service, and opportunities for retreats and missions.

The Fine Arts Department promotes social skills, creative thinking problem solving, self-expression, risktaking, and cooperative learning. The Fine Arts Department has developed courses both to introduce students to the arts and to allow students with special performing talents to interests to develop them. Many courses will satisfy the Fine Art requirement and have no prerequisites. Students who possess a desire to further their talents in bands, strings, choir, acting, or art are encouraged to seek instructor approval as they may take more advanced courses in Fine Arts. 

The athletic program at St. Paul VI Catholic High School is an extension of our school`s mission and in turn, the mission of the Church. Paul VI offers students the opportunity to play various sports at a competitive level. Through athletics, students learn the value of teamwork, competition, and hard work, as well as how to deal with failure and adversity.
  • A lesson lights a spark that becomes a student`s lifelong passion.
  • A service project turns into an enduring commitment to serving others. 
  • A role on a championship team inspires leadership off the field or court. 
  • A moment in prayer leads to a lasting journey of faith. 
  • With our patron St. Francis de Sales as an example, we live out our pledge to grow in grace and wisdom by developing the habits of lifelong learners and spiritual seekers. This is not only true for our students-our faculty teach these traits by example. 
  • A PVI education inspires both the head and heart to grow in amazing ways.
