2 Mission & Impact Statements Mission Inspired by faith, Pope John Paul II High School prepares students to be strong in mind, body, character, and spirit for lives of learning and service according to the gospel. Background Pope John Paul II High School, founded in 2002, is a co-educational Catholic high school currently serving 615 students grades 9-12 in Hendersonville, Tennessee. Brief Overview of nature and scope of programs and people served: JPII provides its students with a comprehensive college preparatory academic program including 18 AP courses. JPII provides students with a comprehensive program in the visual and performing arts including over 30 academic arts classes and performance and exhibition opportunities in the community in instrumental music, chorus, and drama. JPII provides its students with a comprehensive competitive sports program in more than 25 sports teams. JPII provides students with a Christian Service Internship program. The program places all students in a Christian Service Internship with more than 75 charities and organizations in Middle Tennessee Student Demographics: 62% of students are Catholic, 38% non-catholic 23% of students are receiving a total of $455,923 in need based financial aid Freshmen came from Catholic schools (44%), public schools (39%), independent schools (15%), and out of state (2%) 86% of students were Caucasian, 8% African American, 2% Hispanic, 2% Asian, 2% other Impact Since its founding in 2002, JPII has become increasingly important to the communities of Sumner County and the greater Nashville Metro area. Because of its Christian Service Internship, JPII students have served over 75 different charitable and community agencies, totaling over 104,000 volunteer hours since the programs inception in Because of the quality of its academic program, 2010 graduates earned 14.3 million dollars in scholarships and were accepted to 159 different colleges and universities, an average of $93,000 per graduate. It has provided students access to some of the best teachers in Tennessee, headlined by two teachers who have won the prestigious Presidential Award for Excellence in Science and Math and a third teacher who was named a Finalist for the award in It offers capable students the opportunity to take 18 different Advanced Placement classes, led by an academic dean who was named A.P. Teacher of the Year for the Southeastern United States in Its choral program routinely earns superior ratings at state festivals and 17 of its members have been placed on the all-state choir. The school supports many civic initiatives, including Relay for Life for cancer, food drives for Second Harvest, and raises money to fight leukemia. Its Hand in Hand program affords students with intellectual disabilities the opportunity to be educated within the context of a private school environment. Goals for : An Athletic Booster Club will be founded. A mentoring program for new teachers will be launched. Freshmen students will take part in the new Freshmen Year of Studies Program designed to promote success in academics by closely monitoring student progress, providing counsel, and communicating with parents and teachers. With JPII's first graduating class graduating from college in 2009, JPII will establish an alumni program and appoint an Alumni Director. 2

3 Needs The Board of Trustees and senior management desire to advance the school by addressing the following challenges: 1) Need-based Financial Aid/Diversity JPII s student diversity is limited by the amount of financial aid available to award families in need. By increasing the amount of aid, we would increase our student diversity. 2) Endowment As a school founded in 2002, we have not yet built a significant enough endowment fund for our long term security. 3) Special Programs: JPII has developed two cost intensive special programs, the Hand in Hand program to serve students with intellectual disabilities, and the Christian Service Internship program which links students to charitable agencies that serve the Sumner County and Nashville areas. Originally, these programs were supported by foundation grants. To sustain them, we must find additional private donations and grant resources. Service Categories Primary Organization Category Education / Secondary & High Schools Secondary Organization Category Religion- Related / Roman Catholic Areas of Service Areas Served TN - Sumner TN - Davidson TN - Cheatham TN - Robertson TN - Rutherford TN - Wilson KY Pope John Paul II High School draws students from Allen, Cheatham, Davidson, Macon, Montgomery, Robertson, Rutherford, Smith, Sumner, Williamson, and Wilson Counties in Tennessee with the majority of students coming from Sumner County. Two students travel from Laurel County, Kentucky and three studentes travel from Warren County, Kentucky. CEO Statement Through our academic and social outreach programs, coupled with our fine arts and athletic programs, we seek to develop renaissance young people who strive for excellence in all their endeavors. We believe that teenagers, if given the appropriate assistance and guidance, will respond affirmatively to challenge and grow to be generous to the needs of others. 3

4 Programs Programs Hand In Hand Description The Hand in Hand Program (HIH) at JPII serves students with intellectual disabilities, including, but not limited to, Down syndrome and Fragile X syndrome. Through the HIH Program, students experience the JPII community, while accessing individualized programming designed to meet their academic needs and to build upon strengths and interests. Students enroll in academic classes within the HIH Program. Students also enroll in general education classes with a modified curriculum, which may include theology, physical education, and fine arts. Budget Population Served,, A Peer Buddy Program was developed into the HIH Program in In Peer Buddies, students volunteer to act as a peer buddy to a student in the HIH Program. The peer buddies are enrolled in inclusion classes with students in the HIH Program. Peer buddies are trained by the program coordinator in order to further explain the students needs and to specify the peer buddy s role in the inclusion classroom. They also meet with the program coordinator periodically to share their experiences and to receive feedback and support. The Exceptional Learner course is an elective offered to junior and senior students interested in working directly with students during classes offered in the HIH classroom, such as Language and Literature or Math. These students work with the students in the HIH Program to help them reach their academic goals and to support their social skills development. Also, these students complete an independent study outside of class time to learn more about special education and specific disabilities. In , JPII will serve 5 students in the HIH Program. Short Term Success The HIH Program makes education in a high school community available to students who would not be able to pursue the college preparatory program of the school without intensive special education support. The Hand in Hand Program provides educational resources needed for the students to grow intellectually, spiritually, and morally. Students in the HIH Program develop greater independence, self-esteem, and appropriate social skills, which allow the students to pursue post-secondary opportunities such as vocational training through the public school system, state department of rehabilitation services, or post-secondary programs in a private setting for students with intellectual disabilities, such as a twoyear college-based vocational training program. 4

5 Long term Success The HIH Program at JPII has served as a model for interested schools, including Notre Dame High School in Niles, Illinois, Trinity High School in Louisville, Kentucky, and Franklin Road Academy in Nashville, Tennessee. Upon visiting JPII, administrators and teachers leave with an understanding that serving students with intellectual disabilities is a matter of justice and an achievable goal through the support of their school community. Long-term success of the HIH Program could be measured by the number of schools hosting a similar program, thus supporting and educating more students with intellectual disabilities. Additionally, long-term success could be evaluated by the number of main stream students discovering a call to work in special education. We know of several Peer Buddies who have graduated from JPII that have chosen to incorporate their knowledge of people with disabilities into their major selection, such as special education, or into their volunteer experiences through national organizations like Best Buddies, an organization dedicated to people with intellectual disabilities. Program Success Monitored By Examples of Program Success Program success is measured through quantitative and qualitative data. The students individualized education plans (IEP) are reviewed annually and the students present levels of performance are updated at this time each year. The students present levels of performance are based upon standardized testing and teacher created assessment measures. In addition, students academic progress is also measured through observation of teachers and parents. In 2004, the first year of the HIH Program, Jeanne, Will, and Rachel enrolled as ninth grade students. All three students enrolled in Theology, Physical Education, and a fine art course that interested them. Jeanne, whose passion is theater and performing, enrolled in the Beginning Theater course. Later Jeanne had the opportunity to act in school theater productions including Cinderella, Fiddler on the Roof, and Music Man. Will enrolled in history and storytelling. He enjoyed the opportunity to study history and to write and perform original stories. Rachel, who loves to dance, enrolled in Beginning Dance and learned techniques of ballet and jazz. She performed with her class for a school-wide assembly. After four years at JPII, Jeanne, Will, and Rachel graduated from the program with a certificate of completion. They also participated in the events of the senior year including Prom, Baccalaureate, and Graduation. Jeanne is currently participating in the "Community Based Transition Program" through the Metro Nashville School System. Will has graduated from "Project Opportunity" at Vanderbilt Children's Hospital and is interning in the hospital. Will is also exploring his options to attend a college with a program for students with intellectual disabilities. Rachel has participated in vocational training within her school system and is now attending vocational training programs through the Stewart Home in Kentucky. 5

6 Christian Service Internship Description Since its inception in 2002, Pope John Paul II High School has required its students to complete a number of service hours per school year. In 2007, JPII piloted its Christian Service Internship (CSI) program. Under the current program, students complete a minimum of 40 hours of service per school year. Students serve in over 75 organizaitons in Sumner and surrounding counties. As an evaluation tool, students are asked to write a reflection paper on their experience at the end of the school year. Budget Population Served Short Term Success Long term Success Program Success Monitored By Children Only (5-14 years), Elderly and/or Disabled, Homeless For the school year, we expect our students to serve a minimum of 24,600 hours of service in Sumner and surrounding counties. The number of organizations that will benefit from our program is estmated at 75 and the number of people we will impact is in the thousands. The positive impact this program has on the organizations served (currently 75) has a powerful multiplier effect. Volunteers are scarce these days, but our program provides the community with over 600 well organized, motivated, and energetic volunteers. The long-term impact is even more significant when one considers the fact that volunteerism is a habit or a practice that is established early in life and that it becomes a part of who an individual is. For years to come, not-for-profit organizations will benefit from JPII alumni who, for four years learned the importance of community service and volunteerism. Students are encouraged to research the organization that best fits their gifts and talents. They are able to do this through our CSI fair held in the fall on the JPII campus. During the fair, students are able to meet the organization's volunteer coordinator, ask questions, and collect information. Once the student has chosen an organization, the student sets up an appointment to interview with the organization's volunteer coordinator at their facility. This selection process helps ensure a suitable match for both parties and therefore a successful experience. Once students are enrolled in an internship, they set their volunteer days and hours. They are responsible for reporting their hours served to JPII's CSI coordinator with signed documentation from the organization. This process allows us to precisely track a student's activity and progress. At the end of the school year, students are asked to write a reflection paper on their experience. This tool helps us understand the impact the internship had on those served as well as on the student. 6

7 Examples of Program Success JPII students have been named finalists for the Mary Catherine Strobel Youth Volunteer of the Year Award in 2008 and Success of the program can also be determined by experience; as the following quotes illustrate. The Campus for Human Development along with Loaves and Fishes put a face on homelessness; this ended any generalizations or stereotypes that I have had, or heard about homeless people. Poverty is widespread claiming victims of all races, colors, and creeds. My incoming beliefs about the homeless have changed significantly with this CSI. Nora Harris - CSI: Campus for Human Development Working at Sterling House has really forced me to mature and step out of my comfort zone. Amy Crutcher CSI: Sterling House I gained a sense of selflessness and a greater need to work for those who are in unfortunate circumstances from my time at the Campus.
