Mission Statement

Mission:
In accordance with the teachings of Jesus Christ and the Catholic Church and in the Dominican tradition of prayer, study, community, and service, Saint John Paul the Great Catholic High School is a college preparatory school committed to the ethical formation of youth in the pursuit of Veritas (Truth).
 
Philosophy:
In order to carry out our mission to pursue Veritas (Truth), we:
*Center all we do on Jesus Christ, “the way the Truth and the Life”(John 14:6). 
*Pray together as a school community and deepen our personal relationship to Jesus Christ and his Church.
*Study with academic rigor, preparing our students for college and life, discovering the beauty, goodness, and truth in God’s creation.  In particular, through the study of Bioethics, we teach the implications of the fundamental truth of the dignity of each human person, created in the image and likeness of God.
*We build community and serve one another in imitation of Christ.
 
Saint John Paul the Great is a high school of the Diocese of Arlington, founded under the leadership of now-retired Bishop Paul S. Loverde. To learn more about the Catholic Diocese of Arlington, and our new shepherd, Bishop Michael Burbidge, please visit: http://www.arlingtondiocese.org/.

Purple Up breakfast

Honoring our Military Families

April is Month of the Military Child! Students, faculty, and staff were invited to write the military branches their family members have served in or are serving in on a banner, take a blessed St. Michael the Archangel medal (the patron saint of the military), and put stickers on a world map of all of the places they've lived! On Tuesday, April 14th all students were invited to wear purple, which represents all military branches, and our military families were treated to a special breakfast in the library.
Chrism Mass

Chrism Mass

A group of JP students attended the Chrism Mass during Holy Week at St. Thomas More Cathedral with Bishop Burbidge. They also connected with Mr. Tibor Baksy, former JP teacher, and alum Camden Short ('24), who are both Diocesan seminarians.
Cultural Heritage Day

Celebrating our Heritage

On March 26, we held our 5th Annual Around the World Cultural Heritage Day and Festival. Students, faculty and staff wore traditional dress from around the world, and we held an assembly which included our Parade of Nations and a student-led rosary in over 20 different languages. After school, we enjoyed food and performances from our talented students. Thank you to Sra. Giraldez and the Ethnic Diversity Council for all their hard work in putting together this day that truly brings together and celebrates our JP community!
