Mission
St. Pius X School community, in accordance with the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church, commits itself to the education of the whole child in body, mind, and spirit.
Philosophy
This Catholic School is a Christ-centered community rooted in the traditions of the Catholic faith. A strong Catholic identity invites all to call, teach, and challenge the community to experience Christ through lifelong relationships, instruction, service, and prayer.
St. Pius X School offers a comprehensive, integrated curriculum and strives for the formation of the whole person. Empowered by a strong educational partnership between the school and parish community, St. Pius X School motivates and nurtures the learner.
This learning environment is built on Gospel values and the charism of the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The dedicated lay and religious staff prepare the community for the challenges of a constantly changing society and a Church called to grow in wisdom and grace.
The teachers of St. Pius X School recognize the role of the parents as the primary educators and share with them the responsibility for the growth and development of the child. Together we strive to maintain ongoing communication and mutual support to create a setting that will foster the academic and personal development of the child.
