2014 – 2015 Annual Report - Pope John Paul the Great Catholic

GROWTH
through giving
2014-2015 ANNUAL REPORT
“IT IS JESUS WHO STIRS IN YOU THE DESIRE TO DO SOMETHING GREAT WITH YOUR LIVES.” ST. JOHN PAUL II
OUR MISSION
Rooted in the Dominican tradition of prayer, study, community and
service, Saint John Paul the Great Catholic High School is committed to
the formation of youth with special emphasis on the ethical development
of the students. We strive to provide an environment where students
can grow in the image of Jesus Christ while developing intellectual,
theological, and moral virtues. As a Diocesan School, we prepare each
student for a life of faith, service, and integrity.
Growth through Giving
DEAR FRIENDS,
WHEN A COMMUNITY IS FILLED WITH PEOPLE WHO WANT TO GIVE OF THEMSELVES,
that community will be blessed. Looking back on the 2014-2015 school year, it is easy to see that God’s hand
has touched many people who in turn helped Saint John Paul the Great Catholic High School to grow. We
have been blessed. We have a community of contributors; people who give generously of their time and
talents, and their gifts have a lasting impact on our students and school programs. Our growth has been
through your giving.
In the 2014-2015 school year, we grew in so many
ways, including increased school enrollment, greater
student participation in our House System and service
opportunities, growth in volunteerism among parents,
increased number of military appointments in our senior
class, greater participation in our school’s music program,
and greater school spirit!
Your giving helped make this possible as it provided
the necessary means to support the school’s academic, spiritual, athletic, fine arts, and co-curricular programs. Through your giving, we were able to provide financial aid to families in need, restore our stadium
field, repair the baseball field, equip the band with additional instruments, provide more opportunities
for students to be involved in co-curricular activities, and much more. I am pleased to present the 20142015 Annual Report of Saint John Paul the Great Catholic High School, honoring the donors, volunteers,
and other friends whose participation has made an impact on the lives of our students. Many thanks for all
you’ve done, and will continue to do, in support of our mission. Your contributions of prayer, time and talent
make a difference in so many ways. I cannot thank you enough for your generosity and dedication to our
great school.
Yours in Christ,
Sister Mary Jordan Hoover, O.P.

Growth through Evangelization
Lights, Radio, Action!
Through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and the combined generosity of key donors, John Paul the
Great was able to commit to two major improvement projects in 2015: the establishment of our own
radio station, and the addition of lights to our football field.
The radio station was an idea brought to the school by Mr. Tom Vetter and was in the works for more
than two years when it became clear that installing the appropriate antenna would require unforeseen
resources. Just as the radio project timeline was being re-evaluated, Mr. and Mrs. Mike and Corrine Kosar
approached Sister Mary Jordan with a new and unrelated idea: they wanted to help put lights on the
football field. As only the Holy Spirit can orchestrate, the two ideas came together with perfect timing to
solve the antenna dilemma and to provide a way to light the field years ahead of schedule. Please continue
reading to learn more about both projects, and the generous people who stepped forward in faith to help
make them possible!
Growth through Evangelization
When asked why he would help a Catholic high school start a radio station, Mr. Tom Vetter, a twice-retired
resident of Montclair said: “There are a lot of commuters who travel back and forth to D.C. each day on 95 in
Virginia. We have the potential to reach some of them. I’m hoping the Bioethics information from John Paul
will make a difference and that the Holy Spirit will reach out and touch them.”
Tom couldn’t have known it when sorting through his junk mail in 2012, but at John Paul the Great
conversations had begun about ways to enhance the curriculum in technology and about how to help
students put their bioethics education to use in the real world. In part, the result of these conversations
was the creation of the Communications and Media Arts Department.

“There are a lot of commuters who travel back and forth to D.C. each day on 95 in Virginia.
We have the potential to reach some of them. I’m hoping the Bioethics information from John
Paul will make a difference and that the Holy Spirit will reach out and touch them.”
The postcard that Tom almost threw away was an appeal from the Catholic Radio Association asking for
donations to help establish new Low Power FM Catholic radio stations. For the first time in 16 years, Tom
would learn, the FCC was opening up the application process for new stations, creating an affordable
evangelization opportunity. He brought the idea to Sister Mary Jordan, who was immediately intrigued
and understood that a JP radio station would expand the curriculum options for students, allow the
school to teach about ethical use of technology, and promote the mission of the school.
With the approval of the School Board, the cooperation of the Diocese of Arlington, and seed money
from Mr. and Mrs. Vetter, JP Technology Director, Mr. David Morales, spearheaded the effort to apply for
the FCC license. Over the course of more than two years – and with another significant donation from
the Vetters, as well as contributions secured from his friends, the Knights of Columbus Fr. Cappodano
Council, the St. Michael Catholic Community at the Marine Memorial Chapel, and brother Knight, Mr.
Raymond Tenanty - the FCC granted the permit and approved the frequency and call letters.
The only remaining question was where to properly install the antenna. Many options had been considered,
but each failed to be the solution. Just when it appeared that the radio station would have to be delayed,
the Holy Spirit intervened and Sister Mary Jordan received a call from a new JP family, the Kosars, with an
offer to help fund stadium lights. It turns out that a light pole is the perfect place to install a radio antenna.
106.3 WJPN - Home of Saint John Paul the Great Catholic High School and voice of the JP Nation – is
scheduled to start airing by early 2016. Initial content will come from free Catholic radio feeds, such as
EWTN Radio. Planning has begun to shape our curriculum and develop a course specifically for radio
broadcasting. Content produced and aired by John Paul will start slowly and build over time. Ideas for
student-created programming include live sports games, talk show formats, a nd school news. Teacher
content might include broadcasting the Bioethics mini-series led by Sister Terese Auer, O.P.
Lieutenant Commander Tom Vetter, a life-long
Catholic and product of Catholic education, spent
18 years active duty Navy and 8 years of reserve
service as a military submariner before retiring and
starting a second career as an IT architect. Tom is
now an author and a full time caregiver to his wife and love of his life - Gabriela, who suffers from
Alzheimer’s disease. Tom’s books include 30,000
Leagues Undersea – True Tales of a Submariner and
Deep Submergence Pilot, as well as several volumes
of historical fiction including Call to Crusade – The
Recollections of Lord Godric MacEuan on the First
Crusade: Volume One.
We cannot thank Tom and Gabriela enough for their ideas, generosity, and for partnering with us in education
and evangelization. All are invited to join Tom and Gabriela in this work by financially contributing to the new
radio station. Please contact the Advancement office for more information.

Growth through Vision
Growth Through Vision
In the spring of 2015, Saint John Paul the Great Catholic High School was blessed with a tremendously
generous lead gift for the installation of lighting for the planned stadium complex, courtesy of Mr. and Mrs.
Mike and Corrine Kosar.
The idea was born through Corrine’s experience volunteering on the John Paul field during St. Thomas
Aquinas Regional School’s Fall Festival. Limited electrical outlets and lack of lighting made hosting and
clean-up a challenge. Corrine found herself wondering what it would take to get lights on the field, and
how the improvement might create opportunities for students and families at John Paul and in the diocese.
Later, the Kosars heard Sister Mary Jordan speak about the proposed radio station, including the need for
funds in order to move the project forward. When it became clear that stadium lights could also solve the
issue of where to place the radio antenna, the Kosars knew it was time to move forward with their gift. While
they could not underwrite the entire stadium project, Corrine explained that they felt their donation needed
to be “significant enough” to make the project viable, and to hopefully inspire others to join in their efforts.
“Like many others at Saint John Paul the Great, we are just two working parents. We have a mortgage. We
sit in the same traffic on 95 as everyone else,” Corrine said, “and we asked ourselves, ‘can we step out of our
financial comfort zone to do something meaningful for the school?’”
“We want to encourage
others to participate.
We are firm believers
who have seen firsthand
that when you give, you
get back in some way,
shape, or form.”
Mike and Corrine Kosar visit with
Sister Mary Jordan Hoover to discuss
plans to light the football field.
Mike and Corrine are both products of Catholic education and have long supported their various alma
maters. Mike remembers his parents sacrificing in order to send him to Catholic high school by taking
out a third mortgage on their Scranton, Pennsylvania, home. “I wouldn’t be here today without Catholic
education,” shared Mike. “It’s important to give back.”
The vision for the stadium complex is grand and planning work has begun. It will take the time, talents, and
gifts of many more people to see it become a reality. “We want to encourage others to participate,” said
Mike, while Corrine added, “We are firm believers who have seen firsthand that when you give, you get back
in some way, shape, or form.”
With joy and awe, we thank Mike and Corrine for their vision and generosity. To join the Kosars in support
of the stadium complex project, please contact the Advancement office or send your tax-deductible
donation today.

Growth through Dignity
Hugh Finn Scholarship
The Hugh Finn Scholarship was established at John Paul in 2014 by Mr. Edward
Finn, in remembrance of his late brother. Hugh Finn was a talented man. Born
in 1954 to Thomas and Joan Finn, he came from a large, loving, family and
was one of eight children. Hugh was a concert pianist, a news anchor, and a
kind and giving person. When finished with work at the end of the day, Hugh
would often visit Lighthouse for the Blind and record books on tape. A lover
of animals, Hugh was an active volunteer at the ASPCA near his home in
Kentucky. Tragedy struck in March 1995 when Hugh was in a terrible
car accident. As he struggled to survive, he was moved from Kentucky
to Pennsylvania while specialists battled to save his life. After months
of surgeries and treatments, Hugh stabilized and remained in a minimally
responsive state, receiving nutrition through a feeding tube. Physicians and
medical specialists provided little hope for improvement. Hugh was moved
to a nursing facility in Manassas where his family could visit more frequently and help attend to his most basic
needs. After many months, it was decided to discontinue nutrition and hydration through his feeding tube.
His family was distraught and tried to get an injunction to prevent this action, but, ultimately, all attempts to protect Hugh’s right to appropriate nutrition and hydration were thwarted. Hugh passed away on October 9, 1998.
Hugh’s death had a life-changing impact on his brother, Ed, who wished to inspire others through Hugh’s
memory. As a wrestling coach at JP the Great, Ed came to love our mission involving the formation of
youth with a particular emphasis on their ethical development. At John Paul, we provide an environment
in which the profound dignity of every person is affirmed, regardless of ability. Ed wanted to enable more
students to attend John Paul and to learn the Bioethics Curriculum so they would be equipped to make
ethical decisions related to life, death and care for the most vulnerable. In remembrance of Hugh’s talents,
Ed particularly wanted to encourage and support students interested in journalism and music. Thanks to his
generosity, each year John Paul the Great offers two $1,000 Hugh Finn Scholarships to students with musical
and journalistic talents. To contribute to this worthy scholarship, or create a new scholarship in memory of
a loved one, please contact the Advancement office.
Joan Finn and son Ed Finn present the Hugh Finn Scholarship to JP students Gabriela Carlisle and Nicholas Craig.

Growth through Planning
School Improvement Planning and Reaccreditation
EXCEPTIONAL REVIEW FROM ACCREDITATION TEAM
Saint John Paul the Great Catholic High School went through a rigorous accreditation process to achieve
reaccreditation from AdvancED, a global accrediting agency. In November 2014, an external review
team representing AdvancED visited the school for three days to meet with various stakeholders in the
JP community and to review the self-study which had been prepared by the school.
At the end of the review, the chairman, Mr. Rick Bowmaster, gave a formal, but enthusiastic, presentation
of their findings to the school’s faculty and staff, board members, and parents. All present were thrilled to
hear the report, which included professional judgment of the following areas: 1) powerful practices;
2) opportunities for improvement; 3) improvement priorities; 4) Index of Educational Quality; and the
accreditation recommendation. Some of Mr. Bowmaster’s comments included:
“On day one, we had a very, very, packed schedule, but we left uplifted. Your students spoke extremely
proudly of the work you do.”
Regarding the consistency of comments among all stakeholder groups (including students, faculty,
staff, parents, administration, and others), Mr. Bowmaster stated “every group said, more or less, the
same thing about their experience of the school, which is a very, very, rare find. We’ve never seen
this happen so clearly.”
Speaking specifically to the quality of our teaching practices, Mr. Bowmaster said, “Nobody teaches
in isolation here. You work together.” Later he said,“We’ve never seen a group that is so responsive to
the needs of students.” Adding, in regard to students’ needs:“You are proactive, rather than reactive.”
Among the powerful practices, the external review team highlighted our Bioethics Curriculum, Options
Program, Academic Support Program, the House System, living the mission, and the Dominican charism.
They noted the impact of Bioethics on the school’s curriculum, mission, and students. Many of the students
interviewed touted the impact that studying Bioethics has on their learning experience. The external review
team noted that our Options Program and Academic Support not only provide exceptional programs to
help students to thrive, but they are well-integrated into the school. Our House System demonstrates that
relationships are the foundation for building community by giving each student, teacher, and staff member
the experience of belonging to a smaller group within the broader community. The external review
committee noted that the presence of the Dominican Sisters has a strong influence on the school’s
mission and culture. The study also showed that members of our school community are being challenged
to follow Christ wholeheartedly.
One of the reasons we engage in self-studies and external reviews is to identify areas for improvement.
The external review team and our self-study identified the following opportunities and priorities for
improvement: 1) Consistent use of PowerSchool to communicate grades; 2) the development of Professional
Learning Communities to improve professional development; 3) the improvement of documentation of the
Curriculum; 4) training for all staff in the application, disaggregation, and use of data to verify improvement
in student learning, and 5) expanding the Advancement and funding opportunities.
OVERALL SCORE AND DECISION
In the conclusion of their report, the external review committee presented the Index of Education Quality (IEQ)
score, based on AdvancED standards. John Paul’s overall score exceeded the national average of more
than 32,000 other schools in the AdvancED network, and the outstanding results led to our reaccreditation.
The reaccreditation visit is important because it keeps the school engaged in the formal process of continual
improvement. Many people within our community are engaged in the continuous review process and it is
another example of how giving has helped us to grow!
ANNUAL STATE OF THE SCHOOL ADDRESS
In February 2015 at the annual State of the School meeting, Sister Mary Jordan Hoover, principal, and
Mr. Carlos Chaves, board president, presented a detailed report of the AdvancED findings and our school
improvement goals to John Paul parents, teachers, friends, and community members. Also addressed was
information on improvement planning, fiscal status, facilities report and planning, and committee
development. The State of the School video can be found at www.jpthegreat.org/documents/

GOLFING WITH WOLVES
Inaugural Golfing with Wolves
In September 2014, John Paul started a new tradition: Golfing With Wolves. The inaugural tournament was
held in our neighborhood at the new Potomac Shores Golf Club. The weather was spectacular and after 18
holes on the beautiful course, golfers filled the club house for a delicious meal and a light-hearted awards
ceremony. In addition to growing friendships, this event raised more than $12,000 to support the programs
of Saint John Paul the Great.
Thank you to all who
supported the event,
including the golfers,
tournament sponsors, and
volunteers. A special thank
you to Potomac Shores for
their Lone Wolf sponsorship,
and to Gaston Gianni for
chairing the event!
Growth through Friends,
Options Support
Since the opening of the school in 2008, the JP Options Program has served students with moderate
intellectual disabilities in an inclusive setting, providing opportunities for academic, social, and spiritual
growth. Many have supported the JP Options Program over the years, including special mission partner
Porto Charities. We are grateful for their generous grants which have helped to bring the latest technology into the Options classroom. The annual JP5K Run/Walk for Options is another key source of support for
the Options Program. In 2014, the Family Association took leadership of this event, and under the capable
direction of event chair, Mary Gelbach, the JP5K raised more than $7,000! We are grateful to Mary and to
the 450 runners who came out on a frigid November morning in support of Options. Special thanks to the
generous event sponsors, including our JP5K Champion Level Sponsor, Karen Radley Acura/Volkswagen.
March for Life 2015
Nearly 400 Wolves joined hundreds of thousands of
people on January 22, 2015 for the March for Life in
Washington, D.C. The day began with prayer at the
Diocese of Arlington’s “Life is VERY Good” Morning
Youth Rally and Mass, attended by roughly 8,000
teens from across the country.
After picking up box lunches, the John Paul crew headed
to D.C. for the March. Chanting, banner waving, singing,
and praying their way up Constitution Avenue towards
the Supreme Court, JP represented with passion for life.
Mr. Gerard Anthony, religion and Bioethics teacher, and
Kaitlin Kotwicki (2015) were pulled from the crowed by
EWTN and responded to a few on-air questions; a great
example of JP Bioethics and evangelization in action!

Growth through Service
Hospitality to Visiting Schools
John Paul the Great welcomed three Catholic high school groups
who traveled to the D.C. area to participate in the March for Life,
and provided overnight accommodations on our gym and classroom floors. These high school students and chaperones came
from Bishop Snyder in Jacksonville, Florida, Bishop Machebeuf
in Denver, Colorado, and Knoxville Catholic in Tennessee.
At 6:15am on a non-school day, John Paul students happily prepared and served a hot breakfast for our guests. Connor Longi
(2016) knew how to organize a breakfast of this size, having spent a semester in a work-study internship
with Chef Courtney. He served as the student leader who planned the shopping and directed the cooking,
serving, and clean-up.
Thanks to all who volunteered and provided warm JP hospitality!
Beach Bash
In June, the Service Club and the National Honor
Society joined forces to raise awareness and funds
for Catholic Charities. This is the second year for the
Beach Bash and the second year as co-chairs for
Grant Tabler and Mark Choe, both members of the
Class of 2016. From inflatable fun to snow cones to
the dunk tank, students, faculty, and families enjoyed
a great afternoon in the sun.
Growth through Community
2015 Gala
The Third Annual Gala and Auction was held May 18. The theme, “Spring is in the Air”, celebrated the many
ways John Paul the Great has blossomed over the years, as well the excitement about all that is yet to come.
Hundreds dined, laughed, bid, and together raised more than $50,000 in support of the school. These funds
provide additional financial aid to deserving students, purchase much-needed equipment, and expand
extracurricular opportunities.
A huge thank you to the parents, students, friends, alumni, and
alumni parents who volunteered in myriad ways – to make the
evening a success. Alumna Elizabeth Kestermann (2012) gave
the keynote address about her love for John Paul and how it
prepared her for college life. Thanks also goes out to all those
who donated and sponsored the event, especially our Platinum Level sponsors, Euro Motorcars Bethesda and Patricio
Enterprises. Our deep gratitude is extended to our Gala CoChairs, Kim Munoz and Karen Barlow, who worked tirelessly for
many months. They have been at the helm of two very successful gala events, and have inspired many with
their leadership and dedication.
Growth through Prayer
Annual School-Wide Retreat
Students at John Paul have many opportunities to live their faith, including an annual school-wide retreat
when time is set aside for reflection and prayer. In 2015, we were blessed to have musical artist Marie Miller
return to perform and encourage prayer through music. Army Ranger, Mark O’Neill, and Scythian band
member, Danylo Fedoryka, both held breakout sessions about faith-in-action, conversion, and serving God
even when it is difficult. Brother Athanasius Murphy, O.P., provided a moving homily during a Mass and
led an inspiring break-out session. Bringing inspiring guest speakers to campus is made possible in part
through benefactor support. Students and staff are grateful for these special opportunities for grace.

Growth through Witness
2015 Christ the Teacher Award
Each spring, the Christ the Teacher Award is presented to a deserving teacher who
is an exceptional witness to Christ, inside and outside the classroom. Nominated by
her colleagues, members of the senior class, and parents of seniors, the 2014-2015
award recipient was Miss Emma Boyle. Miss Boyle joined the faculty in 2010 and
serves as Chair of the Social Studies Department. Addressing the senior class at
Baccalaureate, Miss Boyle reminded her captivated audience that though we have
many wonderful stories in our lives, “The only story is God’s love for us, our gratitude, our response to his love.” Her love for God and her students is evident in all
that she does and we congratulate Miss Boyle on this award.
When JP the Great opened in 2008, a total of 200 students in grades 9 and 10 roamed the wide hallways.
In 2014-2015 - only seven years later – the JP freshman class alone was 200, and the total student body
topped 650. Increased enrollment means more class options, stronger athletic teams, new friends, and much
more. Enrollment growth has also allowed us to become financially self-sustaining. Of course, with more
students, there is an increased need for new teachers,
equipment, classroom furniture, computers, and other
supplies, such as science kits. As we climb towards the
proposed goal of 1,000 students, your partnership is
more important than ever. In particular, your financial
participation in the annual drive is necessary for the
growth of our school.
Growth Through Community Improvements
Days after the 2014-2015 school year ended, construction crews began to reshape the land surrounding
Dominican Drive in preparation for the long-awaited sports park. This community project is part of the
Potomac Shores development and reflects collaboration between the developers, Prince William County,
and John Paul the Great. Once completed, John Paul athletes
will benefit from nine multi-purpose fields and a softball
field, which will provide more space for practice and games.
In return, members of the community will utilize John Paul
parking lots during non-school hours. These types of improvements in our neighborhood are encouraging for future growth
of the school, while also providing additional resources for
current students.

Financial Report
The goal of the John Paul Finance Committee is to ensure the current and future financial viability of Saint John
Paul the Great by being good financial stewards for the Arlington Diocese, the Saint John Paul parents, the
School Board, and current and future students. Concurrently, while meeting all of our financial obligations, we
aim to provide financial aid to qualifying families, allowing for an economically diverse student body.

Growth through the Annual Drive
The Annual Drive is an effort each year to raise needed funds for general operating expenses not met by
tuition income. In fact, tuition payments cover only 85% of a JP education. At John Paul the Great, the
annual drive is also about harnessing the power of prayer and volunteer talents in support of our mission.
The goal is always 100% participation from JP families in some capacity, be it financial, prayer, service or
a combination of the three. Just over one-third of John Paul families pledged gifts of prayer, service, and
financial resources in response to the 2014-2015 appeal. Thankfully, we exceeded our financial goal, raising
$195,000 in needed funds. Thank you to all who participated! Your contributions helped us grow while
maintaining the quality, Christ-centered education that students and families have come to expect. Your
generosity blesses our school.
