Paul VI High School

Paul VI High School is a private Catholic high school located in Haddon Township, in Camden County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. As there is no post office in Haddon Township, the mailing address is Haddonfield. The school, founded in 1966, is named in honor of Pope Paul VI and is overseen by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Camden. The school has been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Elementary and Secondary Schools since 1979 and is accredited until July 2030. As of the 2019–20 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,006 students and 72.4 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 13.9:1. The school's student body was 78.2% (787) White, 10.0% (101) Black, 4.3% (43) Asian, 4.0% (40) two or more races, 3.3% (33) Hispanic, 0.1% (1) American Indian/ Alaska Native and 0.1% (1) Native Hawaiian/ Pacific Islander. The 244-meet win streak by the boys cross country team, which ended in October 2007 after 28 years, was cited by The Philadelphia Inquirer as "an epic achievement". History Construction on the school, convent and parish building began in January 1965. The school, designed by Armond Nasuti of Haddon Heights, and built by Cresco Builders of Pennsauken, at an estimated cost of $2 million (equivalent to $ million in ), is designed like a large “W” with common facilities such as the cafeteria and gym in the center area and classrooms along the extremities. When the school was first opened, boys and girls were in the separate wings, sharing facilities such as library, cafeteria and gym.
