Student Life

Pope John Paul II Preparatory School strives to create a Catholic culture in a cooperative community. Our goal is to foster and develop a sense of morality, responsibility, and social consciousness in each student. 

We want our students to form strong and lasting relationships with their peers, teachers, and coaches, and we provide a variety of events for this to happen. Beginning with the new student orientation, to the "Senior Walk" before graduation, students embrace opportunities to have fun. There are pep rallies, tailgates, House games, dances, retreats, community service, and many more opportunities for students to bond and make lasting memories and life-long friendships. 

Pope Prep recently hosted Tennessee Titan's lineman Wyatt Ray #57, News 2 reporter Silvia Castañeda, and News Channel 2 for "Take a Titan 2 School" for the 8th Grade Egg Drop Challenge! Wyatt was so gracious to spend time talking with students, working with his team of 8th graders to complete the challenge, and answering student questions during a Q & A and for Knights TV. Thanks to all who made this day special, including the cheerleaders, dance teams, the drumline, and of course, our amazing 8th-grade science teachers, Ms. Reding and Mrs. Tuerff! 

Watch the 8th Grade Egg Drop Challenge featured on the WKRN Local on 2 "Take a Titan 2 School" segment featuring Wyatt Ray #57! Thank you for a great visit, News 2 and Wyatt Ray!

Go, Knights
