Welcome to PJPII
Pope John Paul II Community-
I would like to take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Kendra Evans and I have taught at PJPII for the past 10 years. It is an honor to serve the Pope John Paul II Catholic School community for this upcoming school year as the Principal.
​
I graduated from Keene State College in New Hampshire with a BA in Secondary Education and Social Science focusing in Political Science and History. I have since received my Elementary education certification and ESL endorsement from Trinity Christian College. I also have obtained my LSB1 endorsement from Roosevelt University. Before coming to Pope John Paul II, I worked as a Reading Interventionist in a public school for 4 years.
​
I helped create our Parent Events Committee and I look forward to continuing the work this committee started in bringing more events and involvement back to PJPII.
We are fortunate to have the latest technology to help us make learning fun, engaging, and rigorous. It is my hope that we can use this technology to create more opportunities for our students.
​
At its conception in 1999, Pope John Paul II was a consolidation of Five Holy Martyrs, Immaculate Conception, Our Lady of Fatima, and St. Pancratius. It is my hope that the legacy of these schools continue to thrive at Pope John Paul II School. As the only Catholic School in Brighton Park, we must work together to spread the Word of God and Catholic faith to our children and community.
Together, we continue to Invest in Learning to Care for our Community.
God Bless,
Ms. Kendra Evans
