Paul VI Catholic High School

Paul VI Catholic High School, located just outside of Washington D.C in Fairfax, Virginia, is one of four secondary schools in the highly regarded Catholic Diocese of Arlington’s school system. Paul VI is a college-preparatory high school of around 1,000 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 Paul VI’s fourth year in the K12 Web Archiving Program. We have 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 weekly, with members contributing new websites to be considered for inclusion into the program. We have club officers, including a Webmaster, and each of our three collections has a lead student who is in charge of content. Chosen sites are an eclectic mix recommended by Paul VI's students to represent the school. This year the junior U.S. History classes, after learning about primary documents, also participated in the selection of websites. Our club members and students are proud to be the connection between the Paul VI community and the students of the future.
