Families in Action
SPX FAMILY PLEDGE
Preamble
The purpose of the St. Pius X Catholic High School (“SPX”) Family Pledge is to confirm a set of expectations among families regarding SPX student activities and parties in our homes. United in this Pledge, SPX families stand in solidarity with SPX as one community sending the consistent message that unlawful drinking and drug use is not tolerated at SPX or in our homes.
The Law
Georgia law states, in part, that it is illegal to sell, serve, or furnish alcoholic beverages to a person under 21 years of age and that it is illegal for a person under 21 years of age to purchase, knowingly possess or misrepresent his age in any manner for the purpose of obtaining alcoholic beverages. (O.C.G.A. Sec. 3-3-23)
The Pledge
- There will be no unlawful drug or alcohol use when SPX students are at my home.
- I will be present and visible throughout any party at my home or where I have sponsored an event when SPX students are present.
- If a teen brings alcohol or drugs into my home or my event or arrives under the influence of same, I will ask the teen to remain in my home and immediately notify the parents to request further instructions.
- I will welcome calls from other SPX parents who have concerns or questions about any activity or party involving SPX students being planned for or hosted at my home.
- I acknowledge that it is my duty and responsibility to contact the host family before granting permission for my SPX student to attend a party in someone else’s home if I have any questions about the party, including the nature of the party, who has been invited, and who will chaperone. I will feel free to volunteer to chaperone with the host parents.
- If I go out of town overnight and my SPX student will be at home, I will provide supervision through another responsible adult who will either stay with my SPX student overnight or provide the necessary supervision (including checking my home as often as necessary), making themselves available to my SPX student for all support as needed as if I were home.
- I acknowledge that SPX may take action according to school policy if it becomes aware of an incident involving an SPX student and the unlawful use of alcohol or drugs.
- All adult members of my household affirm this Pledge.

Community & Service

Parents
- Freshman Parent Coffee: Our freshman parents can enjoy morning coffee and light refreshments while their students attend orientation. This is a great opportunity to get to know other parents and learn about opportunities to engage with the larger St. Pius X Catholic High School community.
- Camp Golden Lion: Home and School supports this kick-off event by providing parent meals in the cafeteria.
- Parent Specific Class Nights: Home and School assists with communications and provides refreshment at these annual events where the administration, staff and faculty, of St. Pius X Catholic High School, offer content specifically targeted to each grade level.
- Mini-Class Night: Home and School provides support to the mini-class night sessions by coordinating volunteers, providing faculty and staff with dinner and snacks to parents during their “lunch” period.
- New Parent Night: Home and School volunteers serve as greeters and assist in the cafeteria as new parents have an opportunity to learn what they and their student can expect during their first year at St. Pius X Catholic High School.
