Pope John Paul II High School

Amazing!

My first two months at Pope John Paul II High School can be summed up in one word: AMAZING! The atmosphere, the teachers, the clubs, and the friends have all played a role at the beginning of my high school experience.

My name is Christopher Hughes and I am a freshman. I attended St. Francis Xavier Preparatory School right next door to JPII HS. While there, I participated in numerous clubs and activities. I am also an altar server and a member of Youth Ministry at Christ the King Parish in Mashpee.

I first got involved with the school before ever attending a single class.

In June, I saw an ad on Facebook for an advertising director for the school’s social justice committee. My involvement helped me get ready for the new school year and meet new friends. I strongly recommend that you join something in your new high school as soon as possible. It really helps.

The atmosphere here is great. The teachers work with you so that you can be successful. There are lots of things to do. More than I thought for a new school. Most of all the people here are great. They go out of their way to help you and to make you feel like you belong. The friends I’ve made and the feeling of community that makes this place special are important to me.

As the school year progresses, I can certainly say that I’m living a dream. I couldn’t be happier with my choice. If you are thinking of coming to JPII, I’m sure that you will be, too.
