A Strong Faith
Our motto at St. Pius X is "We Are the Lord's."

Our strength as a community is rooted in our Catholic faith, and we provide every opportunity possible to help students grow in theirs. Every class is started with a prayer. Mass is offered each morning at 7:20. Communion services are offered four times a day. Spiritual growth sets our school apart. It builds community. It provides outreach. It brings us back to why we are here: "We Are the Lord's."

College Preparation
St. Pius X Catholic High School has a rigorous college prep program which prepares students for the nation's most demanding universities. The semester system (which is currently used by the majority of the nation's colleges and high schools) is utilized by St. Pius X. Each semester is 18 weeks in length and the students receive progress reports at 6 and 12 week intervals. The schedule at St. Pius X provides the variety of an 8 period day in which a student selects 7 academic and elective courses.

The Right Classes for the Students
St. Pius X enrolls students with a wide variety of skills and abilities. As a result, most academic courses are taught on three levels: Honors (and A.P.), College Prep I and College Prep II. Students are not "tracked" and often take courses at different levels. Learn more about the Academics at St. Pius X here.

Reaching Out To Others
Every student at St. Pius X contributes some form of community service — from helping the homeless and building Habitat houses, to tutoring Vietnamese children to gathering prom dresses for those who cannot afford them. Freshmen and sophomores are required to complete 10 hours of community service; juniors and seniors, 20 hours. By the way, half of our students serve more than the minimum required hours.
