St. John Paul II School is excited to announce the appointment of Mrs. Lori Boghdan as the new Advancement Director.
A longtime Catholic school advocate and an active member of our JPII community, Lori is the mother of Cody ’26 and Max ’29. Lori’s leadership experience spanned more than a decade at St. Pius X School (SPXS), where she led the Friends of SPXS organization as a parent volunteer, helping to raise over $1 million in support of the school throughout her tenure. During that time, Lori coordinated major fundraising initiatives, community events, mentorship programs, and served on the school’s Advisory Board—most recently as Board Chair. She also continues to serve on the Strategic Partnership Committee for SPXS and JPII.
At JPII, Lori has been involved with the Parent Partnership Committee and as a volunteer for numerous events, including this past fall’s first on-campus Homecoming celebration. She is currently serving as a co-chair for this year’s JPII in Bloom Gala.
Professionally, she brings more than 25 years of experience as a Program Coordinator for the U.S. Army National Guard’s Groundwater Cleanup Program at Joint Base Cape Cod. In this role, she managed community outreach, stakeholder engagement, public events, and budget reporting for the Department of Defense’s largest environmental cleanup program. She is proud to have been part of a team recognized with the Secretary of Defense Environmental Excellence Award and holds a B.A. in Communications from Westfield State University.
Lori shares, “One of the best parts of a Catholic education is the strong connection students and families feel to one another and to our faith. I look forward to deepening those connections at JPII and sharing the school’s mission beyond our immediate community.”
We are excited to welcome Lori into this role and are confident that her experience, passion, and deep commitment to Catholic education will be a tremendous gift to St. John Paul II School.
