Paul VI Catholic High School is one of four secondary schools in the highly regarded Arlington Diocesan school system, located just outside of Washington D.C in Fairfax, Virginia. Paul VI is a college preparatory high school of around 1050 students. Paul VI sends its young men and women to some of the finest colleges and universities in the country while simultaneously pioneering a full immersion, award-winning scholastic program for students with special needs. Paul VI seeks to inspire and challenge each student in a small classroom setting.

This is the first year for Paul VI in the K12 Web Archiving Program. We've created the Webcrawlers Club to be part of this program. The club is student-run, with the school librarian serving as the advisor. The club meets every Thursday, with members contributing new Web sites for consideration for inclusion into the program. Chosen sites are an eclectic mix recommended by Paul VI's students. Our club president serves as our Webmaster. We have a lead student for each of our three collections, each of whom is in charge of the site descriptions for their collection. Our club members are proud to be the connection between the Paul VI community and the students of the future.
