John Paul II Catholic High School

John Paul II has become the area's faith-based educational preparation for college and life. We welcomed our first students in 2001 and graduated our first class in 2004.

Accreditation

John Paul II has been fully accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools from the moment our doors opened. In 2003 and 2008, we earned formal re-accreditation with notable commendations. This recognition is invaluable for college applications.
