St. John Paul II High School is a private, Roman Catholic high school in Hyannis, Massachusetts. It is located in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Fall River.
Operated by the Diocese of Fall River, St. John Paul II High School opened in 2007 (as Pope John Paul II High School) to serve the residents of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. In June 2013, the Diocese unified St. John Paul II High School with St. Francis Xavier Preparatory School (grades 5–8). The schools are located across the parking lot from each other. They operate as a 5–12 school with separate campuses for middle school and high school. Following the April 2014 canonization of St. John Paul II, Fall River Diocesan Bishop Edgar M. da Cunha, announced on December 8, 2014 that Pope John Paul II High School would now be called St. John Paul II High School.
St. John Paul II High School is located in the old Barnstable High School building in downtown Hyannis, off of Main Street. The school has a 500-seat auditorium for stage productions and assemblies.
Major renovations such as a fitness center, full-length lockers, classroom redecoration, new locker rooms, a new chemistry lab, and an iMac graphics design lab were all part of the restoration.
Currently, 301 students are enrolled in grades 9-12. The school graduated its first senior class (27 students) in June 2011 with 100% of the class accepted to college. Since its inception, the school, has a 100% college acceptance rate.
The school is open to not only families of the Catholic faith, but followers of all religions.
The New England Association of Schools & Colleges (NEASC) granted the school a maximum 10-year accreditation in December 2010.
One Crazy Summer a 1986 romantic comedy film written and directed by Savage Steve Holland was filmed at this school, which was renamed Generic High School for the opening graduation scene
