welcome mr. philip cahill

Dear Pope John Paul II School Community,
​
We are excited to announce that Mr. Phil Cahill was offered and accepted to continue as the principal at Pope John Paul II School for the 2021-2022 school year. The search committee, which included representatives from the school staff, school families, and parish, Big Shoulders Fund and the Archdiocese of Chicago, believed Mr. Cahill was the strongest amongst the 8 other candidates who applied and interviewed for this position.  Mr. Cahill comes with a very strong background in Catholic education, has attended Catholic schools his entire life and has worked for over 25 years in Catholic schools.   Mr. Cahill’s experience this year as the Interim Principal and his 17 years as Athletic Director at Brother Rice High School has shown he a very capable and successful leader.

We are excited to continue to work with Mr. Cahill as he leads Pope John Paul II into next school year.  This is a very exciting time for the school and students.  Thank you for entrusting Pope John Paul II School to educate your children and thank you for your continued support during this year.

Thank you,
Principal Search Committee
