Diversity & Inclusion

Students from all faiths and beliefs are welcome at JPII. Our goal is to foster an active community with values of faith, regardless of background, to look toward a future of service to community and Christ. Our atmosphere of inclusion thrives on principles of diversity and exploration—based in the tradition of Catholicism and the Gospel. JPII celebrates our practice of embracing diversity and its contribution to educational growth. Our students use their complimentary experiences to explore their faith and to serve others with an understanding of numerous perspectives.

Our theology courses instruct students in the beliefs and histories of a multitude of world religions. Through Socratic discussion, students will view personal faith and that of others in the most comprehensive light, and deepen their own faith in turn.

​​We ensure the development of the whole person within the tradition of the Catholic faith; a lifestyle of learning that extends beyond textbooks. Without question, any student will find an activity that speaks to them at JPII. Course electives, student life, and athletic offerings at JPII are built to suit the varied interests of our students. Students can create their own student organizations and support new sports!

We are one of the most financially accessible Catholic high schools in North Carolina. We do our best within our funding to make a Catholic high school education open to all students who want the opportunity. JPII is supported with tuition-based funding and financial support for attendance is available for those that qualify for assistance. We encourage all families to take advantage of the NC Opportunity Scholarship and we offer school-based financial aid for families who demonstrate financial need based on a FACTS Grant & Aid application.
