2021-22 Graduating Class
In August 2013, St John Paul II Regional Catholic School, a result of the merger between St. Mary and St. John Schools, opened its doors, and seventeen Kindergarten students began their academic journeys.  Fast forward nine years and that very first Kindergarten class is preparing to graduate.  
Of the twenty-three eighth grade students enrolled this year at St. John Paul II, five students – Dory Antaya, Sydney Esteves, Aiden Filush, Billy McKenna, and Oli Obi – began their journey in Kindergarten.

Garden areas

Looking for some volunteer hours without all the paperwork? Our garden areas need some TLC! We have two by the front door and the large one on the hill between the school and church. Come when it is convenient for you but, please bring garbage bags to toss the weeds into. Send an email to the office to log your time!

Thank you!
