In 2001, a group of community leaders came together with Monsignor Joe H. Crosthwait and Monsignor Ed Randall and took a giant leap of faith. Soon, they were joined by others who believed in the leadership team and who shared their purpose and vision for the future.
Together, they built and opened Pope John XXIII High School in 2004, the first new Catholic High School in the Houston area in over 40 years – a refreshing new model of hope for the future of Catholic secondary education.
