In Her Own Words: 'Seek God’s will in all that you do and he will direct your path.’ Proverbs 3:6. I was first introduced to St. John Paul the Great High School when Mrs. Cynthia Trax, JP's first librarian, agreed to mentor me as part of my library degree practicum. At the time I was extremely impressed by the quality of education, and the life experiences that each faculty and staff member possessed. When I became a parent of a student at JP, I was further impressed by their care and concern for their students and subjects. I found that every time I would walk through the front doors of the school, I was filled with joy. I hope to share my joy of learning with the amazing students and staff at this wonderful school.
