St. John Paul II High School

St. John Paul II High School is located in Corpus Christi on the Texas Gulf Coast, and within the Roman Catholic Diocese of Corpus Christi.  St. JPIIHS continues the spirit and tradition of diocesan high schools that began with Corpus Christi College Academy (on Lantana St.), Corpus Christi Minor Seminary, and Corpus Christi Academy where St. JPIIHS currently resides. 

Our high school was officially announced and opened on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, December 8, 2005 by Bishop Edmond Carmody in the Immaculate Conception Chapel on campus.  The inaugural year began on August 1, 2006, with a class of freshmen.  Each year a new grade level was added until we had a four-year high school, grades nine through twelve. The creation of St. John Paul II High School was the vision and inspiration of Bishop Edmond Carmody, who desired to create a Catholic School that was accessible, affordable, and available to all students seeking a Catholic education.  As a Catholic school, we provide a unique environment in which students can experience the presence of the Holy Spirit.  Its focus is on the individual person's spiritual, moral, intellectual, social, cultural and physical development.
