Drumline
Being in our fourth year of playing music, SJPII Drumline is only growing bigger and playing louder. We show our school pride by performing at football and basketball games, march parades, play at school and Archdiocese galas, and we also inspire our youth by playing for middle schools. The best part about our drumline is that you do not need any musical experience if you want to play!

Solidarity Groups
The concept of Solidarity Groups is simple: a dedicated time each day for our community to stop, pray, read, reflect, and grow in faith . All students and faculty are placed in groups that meet regularly during the school week.Solidarity groups participate in a different activity or reading, about a virtue, a saint, the liturgical year, or the readings at Mass (in preparation for Wednesday's Masses). Some days, the whole session is given to silent prayer or a Rosary.
The teams are dedicated to different saints and heroes of our faith who are special to our students: St. Maximillian Kolbe, Our Lady of Guadalupe, St. Joan of Arc, St. Padre Pio, Fr. Vincent Capodanno, St. Brigid & St. Patrick, St. Maria Goretti, St. Stephen, St. Francis, and St. Joseph.
