We are so proud of the Class of 2026. They are the first pioneers of JPG. Four years ago, when we opened our doors, they took a true leap of faith. These students and their families stepped into something whose fruits they could not yet see.

Four years later, not only do we see those incredible fruits, we are experiencing them. Our graduates are prepared to enter the world as confident, faithful young men and women, ready to be lights of Christ wherever they go. Their legacy will forever be woven into the story of JPG, and we cannot wait to see the impact they will have on the Church and the world.

Pray for The Class of 2026 as they head off to college!

Summer is here, and we have been taking time to reflect on the incredible growth that JPG has experienced over the past four years.

This school began because one remarkable man was profoundly transformed by Christ and believed that the younger generation could be the difference the world needs. St. John Paul the Great stands as both our patron and a witness to the impact young people can have on the world. He proclaimed to the world that they are the leaders of the New Evangelization.

Just under 30 years after St. John Paul II stepped foot in Denver, JPG opened its doors to its first class of freshmen. Two years later, after a community came together to continue building upon our patron's legacy, we opened Phase II, which included a beautiful chapel dedicated to Mater Ecclesiae and an auditorium that students will enjoy for generations to come. Two years after that, we broke ground on a new gymnasium and additional classrooms.

Christ's presence is evident every day at JPG. It is often said that God does not work through addition but through multiplication, and that truth is clear when we look at how far our school has come in such a short time. He has multiplied the fruits of this mission beyond what we could have imagined, and we are excited to see what He has in store for the future.

St. John Paul II, pray for us.

JPG is the first within the state of Colorado to be listed in the prestigious ranking. As a Newman Guide recommended school, JPG stands as a model for other schools nationwide and has reached the gold standard in Catholic education.

Last week, we celebrated the incredible achievement of our seniors becoming the first graduating class of St. John Paul the Great Catholic High School. During graduation, we were honored to hear Fr. Brian Larkin deliver a powerful message to our seniors. As the legacy of St. John Paul II lives on, so too will the legacy of these remarkable young men and women.

Take a moment today to pray for the Class of 2026 as they embark on this next chapter of their lives!

The day before our first-ever graduation, we celebrated the Baccalaureate Mass at the Cathedral with our seniors and Bishop Jorge Rodriguez. The Mass was powerful and filled with emotion as we watched our first class of seniors prepare to graduate.

The Gospel fit the moment perfectly as we reflected on Jesus asking Peter to “feed my sheep,” concluding with the words, “Follow me.” Seniors, we entrust you into the Lord’s hands as you head off to do great things.
