Christian Service --         May

We are a Catholic, college preparatory high school whose mission is the formation of young men and women through a balanced education rooted in faith, high academic standards, character, and compassion.  We form a community committed to living out the school motto: Seek To Serve.  The goal of our Christian service program is to form Christian leaders whose dedication to service and community will reach beyond their years at John Paul II High School.  In order to achieve this goal, we require all of our students to volunteer a specific amount throughout each year. Our graduates develop a commitment to addressing social and justice issues on a systemic level through their participation in our REACH program.  The program is structured to emphasize the service linkage between our students’ high school and their place of worship.  For more information please contact Sherry Olivares, Coordinator.
