Welcoming, hard-working, dedicated, and knowledgeable are just a few of the adjectives used to describe our faculty and staff. We have worked very hard to compile a quality staff of teachers and aides to promote  professional excellence in all subject areas. Our staff is one of the finest in the greater Chicagoland area with 70% of our teachers currently holding at least one master’s degree or better, some with Special Education and Teaching English Language as a Second Language Certifications.

​

Each classroom has been outfitted with state of the art Promethean Instructional Panels, and 90% of our students have a Chromebook for school use. We added $150,000 of new, highly functional classroom furniture, to all of our educational spaces, from classrooms to the library. 

​

As the safety and well-being of our students is first and foremost, installation of 10 surveillance cameras in strategic locations was completed this fall. This $40,000 project will be one that is worth every penny ensuring our students, staff and teacher safety. 

​

All of these upgrades, along with the incredible support of the Big Shoulders Foundation, will make PJP II a “destination school” on the southwest side of Chicago for years to come.

​

As you continue to explore the rich history of Pope John Paul II School, I invite you to come and see us in person. We are always eager to welcome prospective students, families, alumni and friends to our building.
