The mission of the Athletic Department at St. John Paul II Catholic High School is to provide a Christ Centered approach in all of our athletic teams, forming champions for Christ on and off the field of competition.
Student athletes grow in physical skills, in fitness and health, in virtues, and in thanks to God for their bodily abilities. The discipline of working hard under difficult conditions affirms the values of courage, effort, sacrifice and hope, as athletes learn lessons from failure and success. John Paul II Lions will earn a reputation for good sportsmanship and teamwork. Positive competition can foster the virtues of humility, patience and concern for others, the strongest possible foundation for winning teams.
