PJP's IMPACT Magazine 1 | Page 2

Welcome to Pope John Paul II High School, Home of the Panthers! This is a very exciting time for your family as you prepare to make an important decision that will significantly impact your future – deciding on what high school to attend. I have no doubt that “PJP IS WHERE YOU NEED TO BE!” Our state-of-the-art facility with integrated technology, 32 extracurricular activities, 21 varsity level sports, dedicated faculty, caring staff, and a dynamic student body are invested in helping students fulfill their potential and achieve success. I am convinced that our Catholic values, resilient spirit, leadership, integrity, and interpersonal skills that our students experience while at PJP are the foundation of their success in life. Our recent graduating Class of 2016 continued our impressive college acceptance rate as 99% of our graduates were admitted into universities across the country, while obtaining more than $27 million in scholarships/grants, and 1% are now serving our country proudly in the military. Our current senior class of 2017 have their sights set on the most prestigious universities in the world. I am confident we will be celebrating their acceptances throughout this year together. PJP’s momentum can be seen in the success of our alumni. Our graduates are prepared to make a difference and lead the movement to improve educational achievement worldwide. I am proud to be leading a great Catholic High School that celebrates intellectual curiosity, creativity, and individuality; appreciates the power of collaboration among individuals with different perspectives, backgrounds, and skill sets; and believes in the value of educating the whole student with the intention of making a positive impact on society now and in the future. Our state-of-the-art facility is far more than simply four walls and a roof. Our school dramatically launches our students into the future. Our innovative faculty, student-focused administrative staff, and passionate athletic coaches prepare our Panthers for the real world! Whether it’s our students’ relentless work ethic, critical thinking, or service to the community, our students bring an uncommon drive to everything they do. PJP students are inventive, ambitious, and take charge to succeed! As a parent with three young children in Catholic school, I realize the sacrifices that must be made to provide our children with a quality education. Financial aid is available for families who qualify, and I encourage parents to complete our online SmartAid application. Please reach out to our Admissions Team to discuss the financial aid application and registration process. We want every student who desires to attend PJP to join our family and impact our school community. We will help you every step of the way to make that happen. On the back cover of this brochure, you will find the contact information of various departments at PJP. Please do not hesitate to reach out to one of our knowledgeable team members, and they will be delighted to assist you. Visit our website and explore our very active Social Media pages on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Good news is continually shared on the PJP Facebook page, which is updated every day. I look forward in cheering together at our athletic events, observing academic excellence in the classroom, marveling at the talented artists and budding performers in our midst; and most importantly, praying together as one community. The passionate faculty and staff at PJP collectively impact the success of our students, while also inspiring the student body to become our next generation of servant leaders. We invite you to begin your family legacy with us, and together we can Impact Today, Tomorrow, and Forever. Sincerely, Mr. Jason Bozzone President
