Would you move your whole family for the right school? In this powerful conversation, host Troy Van Vliet sits down with Darren Watt and Jose Vargas—two dedicated parents and volunteers at St. John Paul II Academy—to explore why Catholic education is worthwhile. From their first impressions of the school, to one family’s decision to relocate and get deeply involved in school leadership, they reflect on the powerful sense of community, the importance of faith-based learning, and the success of initiatives like the alumni golf tournament.
