Department Philosophy
The St. Pius X Catholic High School Journalism Department believes strongly in teaching students the importance of media literacy and helping them recognize the powerful impact that journalism, in all of its forms, has on their everyday lives. As practicing Catholics and conscientious citizens, we have an obligation to be responsible consumers and distributors of public information. Consequently, the department focuses on giving students opportunities to be readers, writers, editors, photographers, designers, and publishers so they can gain the knowledge and skills they need to have a lifelong appreciation for the field of journalism.
Magazine
The St. Pius X literary-art magazine, "Carpe Diem," is a student-produced publication featuring photography, artwork, poetry, and prose from the student body.
Newspaper
The "Golden Lines" student newspaper staff provides timely coverage of school events on our newspaper website, spxgoldenlines.com. The staff also publishes several hard copy issues throughout the school year.
Yearbook
The "Golden Echoes" yearbook staff works throughout the year to create a publication that proudly showcases our school community and captures the Golden Lion spirit that defines St. Pius X.
