Admissions

Welcome from the Director of Admissions!

David Richards, Principal at St. John Paul II High School

Thank you for your interest in St. John Paul II High School! Choosing a high school is an important milestone; it is one that will shape not only a student's academic journey but also their character, faith, and future. We are honored that you are considering becoming part of our community.

At St. John Paul II High School, we believe that education is about more than preparing students for college or a career. Rooted in the Catholic intellectual tradition, our classical approach to education invites students to pursue truth, goodness, and beauty through the liberal arts, meaningful dialogue, and a lifelong love of learning. We seek to help students know the truth, cultivate a personal relationship with our Lord, and embrace a life of service to others. In a culture that is increasingly hostile to these enduring values, this kind of formation is more important than ever.

As you discern the school that is the best fit for your family, I am committed to supporting you throughout the admissions process. Whether you have questions, would like to schedule a visit, or simply want to learn more about our mission and community, I am here to help. Please explore the key dates, forms, and resources on this page, and do not hesitate to contact me by phone or email. I look forward to getting to know your family and accompanying you as you consider St. John Paul II High School.

St. John Paul II High School operates as an independent, non-profit organization cooperating with the Archdiocese of Denver. It is officially recognized as an independent Catholic school while the Archdiocese offers its support, oversees its Catholic mission and theology curriculum, and has representation on the school’s governing board.

It is extremely helpful for students to see what attending JPIIHS would be like! We suggest prospective students sign up to shadow a current student for a day. You may do so by clicking the button below.
