In the Spotlight

June 30, 2020... a bittersweet day in Willingboro. Pope John Paul II Regional School has closed its doors for the last time. Today, Mrs. Catherine Zagola, the Principal of PJP II since it opened in 2006, was presented with a Proclamation from the Office of Dr. Tiffani Worthy, Mayor of Willingboro for her dedication and service. A number of faculty and staff members were on hand as the Proclamation was read and presented. It was both a sad and beautiful moment for all involved. May God bless Mrs. Zagola and the students, faculty, and staff of Pope John Paul II Regional School.

Tom and Rob shared many useful tips and strategies for dealing with difficult situations that may arise at any one of the schools in the Diocese of Trenton. It was a very informative presentation for all in attendance.
