Overview

Mission

The mission of Pope John Paul II High School is to provide a Catholic secondary education within a challenging academic, spiritual, and co-curricular environment that will develop men and women who are intellectually strong, spiritually alive and committed to serving the needs of others.

What it reported doing in 2020

This past fiscal year was full of blessings at Pope John Paul II High School and we continue to be amazed at the leadership our students show outside of the classroom as they develop their personal gifts into activities that enrich our entire school community. Our 2021 Senior Class graduated in late June and sent 80% to college.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
