Friday, January 17th

I don't even know where to begin. I am overwhelmed with gratitude for today's event. I cannot tell you how many people stopped me today to tell me how wonderful our campus, faculty, and staff are! THANK YOU for helping make today a HUGE success. I hope you enjoyed the speakers and the afternoon sessions, and again, I cannot thank you enough! You are THE BEST and I am so happy that everyone in the Diocese of Dallas was able to see that today!

Accreditation Training

There will be a new policy in our handbooks that will require JPII to have at least 9 employees trained to be on an accreditation team for other schools. To be on a team, there is an online training you must attend, and your training expires after two years. After two years, you have to go through a training again. 

HERE is the training site and where you can register. I would love to have lots of JPII people on a team! There is so much you can learn from visiting other schools in this way.
