My apologies for the long delay since my last post. With the onset of this new, exciting, and historical year at JPII (174 students!), my original intent with this blog -- to chronicle these unique years for students, friends and families -- has returned to sharp focus. Stay tuned for more frequent posts and this special year unfolds.
The journey undertaken by our first pioneers -- the Class of 2011 -- reaches its apex this year. The true measure of success in life is found in what we leave behind. In any arena, we can ask if our family, friends, school, and community are better off from our presence; and know that this answer speaks the truth of our efforts.
On our first day of classes this year, seniors were greeted by the theme of 'legacy' -- taped to their lockers as a reminder of their pioneering role and spoken of in a special meeting with me. These seniors and all of us in these first four years are charged with leaving a legacy for the untolled students to come. We must leave the school better than we found it. You be the judge.

This is going to be a great year, and a marking point in the school's history!
The class of 2011 has contributed so much. Let's all give our best so that we can leave the school better than we found it.
