Paul VI High School is a private Catholic high school located in Haddon Township, New Jersey. As there is no post office in Haddon Township, the mailing address is Haddonfield, New Jersey, United States. The school, founded in 1966, is named in honor of Pope Paul VI and is overseen by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Camden. The school has been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Secondary Schools since 1979.
As of the 2013–14 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,119 students and 67.3 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 16.6:1.
The 244-meet win streak by the boys cross country team, which ended in October 2007 after 28 years, was cited by The Philadelphia Inquirer as "an epic achievement".
Paul VI is separated into four classes: Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors. The school year begins in early September, and ends in the middle of June (Seniors graduate in late May or early June). Extended periods of vacation are given at Christmas and Easter.
The Paul VI school day starts at 8:05 AM, and ends at 2:30 PM. Students are required to wear the designated school uniforms for the entirety of the day, except during casual days. Separate gym uniforms are required for Physical Education. Discipline is organized into a system of demerits, whereby demerits are given out to students who break the school code of conduct as published annually in the student handbook. The number of demerits given depends on the severity of the infraction. Ten demerits result in a student receiving a detention. As Paul VI is a Catholic high school, students are expected to act according to Catholic teaching.
The school day is organized into eight periods, each 43 minutes long. Preceding 1st period is a homeroom period, where students receive news and announcements. Occasionally, periods are shortened to allow for a student assembly or pep rally, or for half days. Monthly, students attend mass together in the auditorium; a special mass schedule is used.
