Welcome to PJPII

It is with deep gratitude and great excitement that I introduce myself as the new principal of Pope John Paul II Catholic School. I am truly honored to join a community so deeply rooted in faith, academic excellence, and service.

 

Catholic education has always held a special place in my heart because I attended Catholic school myself and deeply treasure the values, faith formation, and sense of community it provided me. Those experiences shaped who I am as both an educator and a person, and they continue to guide my leadership today.

 

My husband and I are blessed with three children, and family is at the center of everything we do. I understand the trust families place in our school, and I am committed to fostering a nurturing, faith-filled environment where every child is known, supported, and encouraged to thrive.


I have dedicated more than twenty years to education, serving students as both a teacher and administrator at the elementary and high school levels. Throughout my career, I have been blessed with opportunities to lead curriculum and academic programs, support teacher growth through coaching, and work closely with students and families to ensure student success.


I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to serve our school community and look forward to partnering with our dedicated faculty, staff, students, and families.


Together, I know we will continue building a strong community grounded in faith,
compassion, and excellence. Thank you for welcoming me into the school family. I look
forward to meeting each of you in the coming months.

​

With gratitude and blessings,
Mayra Quiroz

Principal
