The students, faculty, staff, and families of PJPII, with bittersweet emotions and fond memories, bid farewell to the 57 students who graduated 8th grade on June 7, 2022.

Congratulations and prayerful best wishes go out to the 2022-23 Neumann Scholars, including PJPII's very own George Schaffer & Sophia DiGiovanni! This year 44 academically talented eighth grade students from 29 regional parochial schools were awarded four-year, full scholarships to attend any Philadelphia Archdiocesan high school of their choosing by The Connelly Foundation during a virtual ceremony on December 2nd. This year, 463 students from 102 parish and regional schools in the five county area competed for the scholarships. The standardized test was administered on September 26, 2021. Among the 44 scholarship recipients are five students from Bucks County, eight from Chester County, 11 from Delaware County, 11 from Montgomery County, and nine from Philadelphia County.
