Case Study: John Paul II High School achieves increased operational efficiency and a strong online community with Blackbaud

Enabled to Increase Operational Efficiency While Building a Strong Community

John Paul II High School, a mission-driven college‑preparatory school, faced fierce competition for students as a relatively new private option in a strong public school district during difficult economic times. To grow enrollment and better serve prospective students, parents, faculty, alumni and donors, the school needed a robust, unified technology solution that could streamline outreach and operations across all constituencies.

The school partnered with Blackbaud and implemented a suite of solutions — including The Raiser's Edge, The Financial Edge, The Education Edge, Online Admissions & Re‑Enrollment, Faculty Access for the Web, NetClassroom and Online Campus Community — to provide secure online access for everyone. The integrated system cut application and fee processing times, created an active online community for students, improved visibility into constituent interactions and preferences, and delivered efficiency gains across departments to support better budgeting and service.
