Since opening its doors 15 years ago, Saint John Paul the Great has been proactive in welcoming children with Down syndrome and other disabilities. Through its Options Program, it offers a highly individualized education for students who need modifications to access the general curriculum.

JP is hosting a blood drive at the school on April 3rd (B day). Parents are welcome to sign up! Students 16 years or older may also sign up, but they must have a signed parent consent form and weigh more than 110 pounds. Visit the John Paul Parent page for additional information.

JP Indoor Track traveled to New York City to compete at the 88th Eastern States Championships at the historic Armory track and field center. The team ran against some top talent on the east coast and came away with some outstanding performances.
