History
Pope John Paul II's first students began in 1983 and graduated in 1987, but the school was housed in temporary "portable" classrooms until its building was completed in 1989.
The Board approved the renaming of the school to Blessed Pope John Paul II Catholic Secondary School on June 16, 2011.
