Royersford's Pope John Paul II Names New Principal

Royersford, PA -- The Archdiocese of Philadelphia has named a new Principal for Pope John Paul II High School.

Jason B. Bozzone will succeed Louis Giuliano, who vacated the position of President at the end of the 2015-2016 academic year to assume the role of Chief Financial Officer, in Educational Financial Services for the Office of Catholic Education, the Archdiocese said.

“It is a tremendous honor to assume the presidency of Pope John Paul II High School," Bozzone said in a statement. "I look forward to furthering the mission and strengthening the identity of the Archdiocese’s newest school. I look with great anticipation to engage our students, parents, alumni, faculty, staff and community partners in an effort to have a collective impact on our goals while inspiring our next generation."

Bozzone joins Pope John Paul II after 15 years of dedicated service in higher education, the last nine years of his professional work affiliated with Temple University, according to a press release.

At Temple, Mr. Bozzone served in a variety of both administrative and academic roles, most recently as Assistant Dean in the College of Education, the release states.

His contributions both within and outside of the classroom have gained him university and national recognition not only at Temple but during the early days of his career, according to the Archdiocese.

Prior to his time at Temple University, Bozzone worked at institutions including The University of Pennsylvania, Cabrini College and Pennsylvania State University’s Abington Campus. Bozzone is a proud graduate of Pocono Mountain High School, received his Bachelor of Science Degree in Secondary Education/Social Studies with an emphasis on Political Science from Kutztown University and a Master of Arts Degree in College Student Personnel from Bowling Green State University.
