Truth & Virtue Awards

One student per grade is selected by the Academic Council

When we speak of virtues—not only these cardinal ones, but all of them, every virtue—we must always have in mind the real man, the actual man. Virtue is not something abstract, detached from life, but, on the contrary, it has deep “roots” in life itself, it springs from the latter and forms it. Virtue has an impact on man’s life, on his actions and behavior. It follows that, in all these reflections of ours, we are speaking not so much of the virtue as of man living and acting “virtuously”; we are speaking of the prudent, just and courageous man, and finally, precisely today, we are speaking of the “temperate” (or “sober”) man” Saint John Paul II”

These students have modeled the attributes of humility, living their lives in a truthful way and striving to emulate the life of our school’s Patron Saint, Saint John Paul II.

Freshman: Jessica Corley

Junior: Carolyn Miranda

Faith & Spirit Awards

Two seniors are selected by the Academic Council

The Faith and Spirit award is given to two graduating seniors who have best exemplified the JPII characteristics of Christian FAITH and SPIRIT in service to the community.  Winners are chosen by the JPII faculty on behalf of the Ruffolo family who sponsor this award.  A $250 scholarship will be provided to each winner.  Their names will also be engraved on the Faith & Spirit plaque along with all the prior award winners.  This plaque is on permanent display in the hallway near the school entrance.

Leadership Award

One student is selected by the Academic Council

The John Paul II Leadership Award is given to the student who establishes a clear vision, and shares that vision with others so that they will follow willingly. This student is a servant leader. They lead by example in the academic setting, athletic setting, and social setting. They draw out the best qualities of those involved. They lead with enthusiasm and charisma.

Saint John Paul II Award

One senior is selected by the Academic Council

This award is John Paul II Catholic High School’s most prestigious award. The Saint John Paul II Award is presented to the student whom over the course of their career has most exemplified what JPII Catholic High School stands for: education of the mind, body, and spirit within the Catholic culture and intellectual heritage. This student embodies qualities and characteristics which our patron, Saint John Paul II, emulated and encouraged: respect for the dignity of the human person, faith-filled, unafraid to engage the world, active in school, community and society, knowledgeable of Catholic social teaching and eager to live by it. The recipient’s name will be engraved onto our Saint John Paul II Award Plaque, which is displayed in our school entrance.
