With Catholic faith and Christian values as the cornerstone, John Paul II provides a learning environment that builds self-directed learners, collaborative workers, and community contributors.

John Paul II Catholic School was founded in 1988 by a group of dedicated parents in response to a need for a Catholic school on the west side of Houston . John Paul II is unique in that, unlike traditional parochial schools, a parish does not subsidize the school. John Paul II is a non-profit corporation managed on-site through the cooperation of its Board of Directors, faculty and staff, and the parent community.
