Saint John Paul the Great Catholic High School

Saint John Paul the Great Catholic High School The students and staff of Saint John Paul the Great have built a dynamic and caring community.

Students are prepared academically for college while also enjoying a full, happy, high school experience. We emphasize individual student achievement, character formation, spiritual growth, leadership skills, and relationship-building in a fun, safe, supportive setting. Our diocesan school, led by Dominican Sisters, features the only 4-year Bioethics Curriculum in the U.S., the House System, a modern campus, and much, much more.

Just days after arriving at JP, Fr. Smith led his first mission trip as chaplain, taking 15 students to the Navajo Nation to host a youth Bible Camp for local children. Throughout the week, our missionaries shared the theme, “Thy Will Be Done,” helping the children discover how to trust God’s plan and follow His will through prayer, Scripture, songs, crafts, and games.

Nearly 25 children participated in the camp, forming friendships with our students and growing together in faith. The trip was also an opportunity for our missionaries to encounter the rich culture and beautiful landscape of the Navajo Nation. Along the way, they visited the Grand Canyon and reflected on the greatness of God’s creation.

Thank you to our student missionaries for their generosity, joyful witness, and willingness to serve. Well done, JP Missionaries!

Please see the corrected dates below for our Adult Bioethics Classes! The first session will be this Tuesday, September 8th. We hope to see you there!

We would like to once again invite you to participate in our six-week Adult Bioethics course in the evenings. These sessions give parents a snapshot of what your student is learning in our Bioethics classes. The Fall course will be taught by Sister Malia Grace and will cover the freshman Bioethics course, “The Human Person,” followed by the sophomore course, “Principles of Ethics” during the Spring. Classes will be held weekly on Tuesdays from September 8th - October 13th from 7:00-8:30pm in Aquinas Hall. This course is open to parents as well as others in the community! Participants can attend for all six weeks, or can drop in for topics that interest them. This year we will also offer two classes on "Beginning of Life Issues" with Dr. Andrew Kubick on September 22nd and October 6th, with two classes on “End of LIfe Issues” in the spring!
