JPIICS is a K-8 elementary school supported by the joint efforts of these parishes:

• Our Lady of the Rosary, in Greenhills
• St. Bartholomew, in Springfield Township
• St. Clare, in College Hill

In addition to the children from these parishes, we have a significant number of non-parishioner students and families who bless our community.

Our school is operated, supported, and directed by John Paul II Catholic School Board of Education.

As part of the Cincinnati Archdiocesan system of schools, JPIICS’s operation is pursuant to the policies of the Archdiocesan and Area Commissions on Education.

How are decisions made?
JPIICS is the parish school for our partnering parishes, and each parish has equal voice in the governance of the school. Final decisions concerning the school rest with the pastors, who are advised by the JPIICS Board. The Board consists of the pastors, school administration, school CRE (Coordinator of Religious Education), and three representatives from each of the partnering parishes.  

Who is responsible for finances (budget, tuition, collection)?
JPIICS relies on funding from the partnering parishes. The Board oversees the school budget, but final approval for the budget depends on the Pastoral Councils of the partnering parishes.

The per-pupil cost of instruction is determined by the Board’s Finance Committee (and approved by the Board) and is the amount that each parish is charged per parish student. Each parish is responsible for (1) determining what the tuition cost and parish contribution will be for their parishioners, and (2) collecting tuition from participating parishioners.

Tuition for non-parishioners is determined by the school board and collected through the tuition management system.
