Plan Your Visit

We welcome you to the St. Pius X campus! There are many ways to experience our community—whether through an official enrollment visit or by joining us for one of our exciting Athletic or Fine Arts events.

If you are applying this year, we highly recommend attending both our Open House, held the first Sunday of every November, and a Shadow Day.

Open House offers a vibrant glimpse into the greater St. Pius X community in action, while Shadow Day provides your student, the opportunity to walk in the 'shoes' of an existing Golden Lion student and experience our school day firsthand. Both events include guided tours for the family, so everyone can feel at home!

Please register for a Shadow Day by creating a free family account with Ravenna. For Open House, please register upon arrival.

We also have a Pius Preview event each semester for families with younger students looking ahead to their high school future! 

Shadow Day

A shadow day is the best way for a prospective student to explore what it is like to be a Golden Lion. Shadow day sign up is through Ravenna and only available to students in the eighth grade or older. We designate some shadow days for specific schools sending a large number of their 8th grade students in order to minimize disruption to their academic calendar.

Student Portion: 8:30am – 1:15pm

• Itinerary: Students will gather for a short information session with our leadership team and then take a tour with our Lion Leaders (junior and senior student leaders). Following the tour, they are matched with a host student (9th or 10th grader) to attend three academic classes and eat lunch.
• Attire: We ask that students wear their current school uniform if applicable. Otherwise, please have them attend in business casual attire.
• Materials & Lunch: In case your student attends a class where they are taking a test or quiz, we ask that shadow students bring a book with them. We provide lunch! Students will choose from the menu offered by Sage Dining in our cafeteria.

Parent Portion (Optional): 8:30am – 9:45am

We invite parents to join their students for a short information session with our leadership team and a tour of campus given by junior and senior Lion Leaders. Coffee and light refreshments will be available. After the tour, parents will leave their students to start their day with host 9th and 10th grade students. Pick up is at 1:15pm in the front circle.
