Dear Friends of Pope John Paul II High School,

As Athletic Director of JPII, I would like to welcome you to our website and our school “upon the hill”. The purpose of our athletic program is to help each player on our twenty-six teams develop physically, intellectually and morally with a Christ-like spirit. 

We encourage you to come to our campus for a visit  and as always, we expect good sportsmanship from our athletes and we know we will receive the same from our fans and visitors. We want everyone to “light up the hill” for His glory. We compliment the coaches for their amazing energy and excitement toward their athletes and their sports and commend the parents for their support and generosity without which these games could not take place. And to our athletes, our heroes: 

“The credit belongs to the one who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood: who strives valiantly: who errs and comes short again and again: who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions: who spends himself in a worthy cause: who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who, at worst, if he fails at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.” (Theodore Roosevelt)

Go Knights!
