“I was very lucky that I was
able to take college courses
right at Pope John Paul II
High School! It was convenient
to receive college credits
without having to leave the
building. The dual enrollment
opportunity helped me to
feel very prepared for college.”

“PJP challenged me academically
and prepared me for one of the
best universities in the nation!
I learned what it means to
be part of a community as
well as the importance of
independence. I wouldn’t be
able to say I’m excelling in
college without thanking PJP for
the values that were instilled in
me during my time as a Golden
Panther.”

“Pope John Paul had a way of
making learning fun. I was
challenged academically. I am
ready for my future.
I could not be happier with
my decision to go to this
school!”

Pope John Paul II High School allowed me to further my education above and
beyond the walls of high school, through the Diocesan Scholar program. In my
senior year, I spent half of my school day taking honors high school classes, and
half of my day at Villanova University, enrolled in college courses. As a high school
senior, I began my college career, and now I am a sophomore at Villanova and
living out my dream. I will forever be appreciative to PJP for this life-changing
opportunity.”

“PJP was an environment that encouraged and
rewarded hard work. It was an environment rife
with leadership opportunities. Here I am today, a
product of that environment. I am using
all the skills I learned in high school here at Penn.”
