School Ministry
Pope John Paul II High School strives to educate the whole person. The office of Student Affairs oversees and coordinates the educational experience outside of the classroom through activities, clubs, teams, and organizations. Every student is given the opportunity to develop intellectually, spiritually, morally, physically, emotionally, and socially.
Every student is encouraged to participate in extracurricular activities in search of their God-given talents and interests.

Our Office for School Ministry supports our students, faculty, and staff in developing a relationship with Jesus. Believing that a connection with Christ enriches every aspect of life, our ministry office fosters a nurturing environment where students can explore and deepen their faith. We offer a diverse range of spiritual activities, retreats, service opportunities, and celebrations of the sacraments, including reconciliation and monthly school-wide Masses, to guide students on a meaningful journey towards a relationship with Christ.
Centrally located in our School is a place of profound significance – our chapel. This sacred space serves as a tranquil refuge, inviting both quiet and communal worship. The chapel serves as a cornerstone of our school's identity, offering a place where students, faculty, and staff can gather to spend time with Christ and to celebrate the Eucharist!
Christian Service
Students are encouraged to serve the elderly, homeless, children, and the disabled. They are encouraged to serve at soup kitchens, Catholic Social Services sites, nursing homes, and their own parish or church.
Numerous Christian Service opportunities are offered to students through the School Ministry Office and are communicated via postings in the “Christian Service” Schoology Class in which all students are enrolled.
​After completing their Christian Service Hours, students will complete a reflection essay which is designed to help them to connect their service experience with what they have learned in their Theology classes. The essay prompts are posted on Schoology and are to be completed and submitted on Schoology once all of the Hours Logs have been completed on MobileServe. Students who have questions about MobileServe are encouraged to check the Christian Service Schoology Class.
