St. John Paul II Catholic High School House System Purpose 

In 2021, St. John Paul II Catholic High School launched the inaugural House System. At JPII, every student, faculty, and staff member will belong to one of the four houses: Blessed Mother, Divine Mercy, Holy Cross, or Holy Gospel. You will notice that each House is represented by an important aspect of St. John Paul II’s life and mission. The goal of the House System is to provide an opportunity for students and faculty to interact across grade levels in healthy competition and support each other as they grow in their Catholic faith. Students will learn to work hard individually for the good of their house, in addition to working as a team. The JPII House System encourages teamwork, community, and leadership. Houses compete against each other in the areas of academics, athletics, behavior, and school spirit. In addition, houses compete in house game days and flight time games. At the end of the year, one house wins and receives the reward of ½ a day of school at Main Event.

St. John Paul II Catholic High School House System Goals

1. Encourage our Catholic Identity as St. John Paul II Catholic High School.

2. Increase community that is evident in faculty and student participation in events.

3. Provide opportunities for student leadership through the house council which plans and leads house events.

4. Increase student retention.

St. John Paul II Catholic High School House Council

House Council is made up of the Dean of Houses and two Senior Commissioners who lead the House Council. Each house has a Senior president, Junior vice president, and Sophomore/Freshman captains.

This program will challenge student leaders to take on the real responsibility of serving their community and learn from the experience. We will move past the theoretical to introduce the practical, with real struggles, and real successes. In this way, we hope to amplify our sense of community by bringing administration, faculty, and students together with energy and focus to make each year at JPII greater than the year before.
