"The Archdiocese just doesn't have the resources to carry a school. It has to be able to generate its own viability based on locally accessed resources . . . They really need the local community to say, 'This is important to us. We'll provide the funding and the resources that are going to assure the success of the school.'"
– Jack Peterson, President, Bellarmine Preparatory School

Support for Pope John Paul II High School

And so the local South Sound community has said, "This is important to us."

This school is truly a community effort. Scores of volunteers from Lakewood to Chehalis have worked countless hours to lay the groundwork for the school. Local businesses have extended their expertise and assistance to the school.
