The school opened in 1980, and has a co-ed student body consisting of 500 students and 65 lay teachers as of October 2014. These students are admitted from a diverse applicant pool representing all parts of Palm Beach County and Broward County. SJPII High School is governed by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Palm Beach. The Catholic identity of this school allows it to offer religious education classes, retreats, Catholic Mass and the Sacrament of Reconciliation to its student body. A chapel on school grounds provides students a quiet place to pray. The school is funded through donations, tuition and the Roman Catholic Diocese of Palm Beach.
The school maintains a faculty of approximately 65 lay teachers. The student teacher ratio is 13:1. Teachers use RenWeb which provides online grade access for parents and students. All faculty are certified to teach in their subject areas.
