It is a true honor to serve as Principal of John Paul II Academy of Louisville and to be part of a community so deeply rooted in faith, character, and service. With more than 32 years in public education, I have been blessed to serve students and families in many roles—including high school social studies teacher, counselor, assistant principal, and principal—each experience shaping my belief that schools thrive when relationships, high expectations, and care for the whole child are at the center.
I look forward to continuing the great work already underway at John Paul II Academy and to serving our students, families, and parish community as we move forward together—forming Titans who live their faith, pursue excellence, and serve others with compassion.
Warm Regards,
Bill Perkins, Principal
