CONSTRUCTION UPDATE
Since the end of school, changes in and around the main school building related to construction are much more noticeable - and potentially dangerous for visitors. Therefore, we are asking that if you need something from the main office, please call (252-215-1224) or email mainoffice@jp2highschool.com to share what you need and to schedule an appointment to pick it up. Please do not visit the main academic campus without arranging an appointment first. Thank you for your cooperation!

Summer is often a good time to order JPII spirit wear. The Saints Shop, EB Sports, and Ink'd Threads are the official providers of JPII spirit wear.
The Saints Shop is the on-campus spirit wear store. Orders are pulled soon after they are submitted and are picked up at the school.
The EB Sports store closes each Tuesday and re-opens the following day. We recommend ordering on the weekend or Monday since orders are pulled on Tuesday. If you order on Wednesday, your order will not be pulled until the following Tuesday thus adding a week to processing. Orders can take 2-3 weeks to process and complete from the store closing date! Any items that become back-ordered due to challenges with suppliers may take longer than the 3 weeks for delivery.
Orders from EB Sports are delivered to the school; if you order from Ink'd Threads you can choose to either pick up your order or have it delivered to the school when you checkout.
