School Reviews

5  
St. Pius V school is the best gift you can give your children. Not only do they still teach the basics, i.e. phonics, grammar, basic math, etc. while incorporating technology, they will need to succeed in life. The entire teaching staff along with Father Paw, Dr Bravo, and Mrs. Holguin is involved on a daily basis with each individual child, helping them to become well rounded and firmly grounded individuals. This school is truly a gift from God. We as parents are beyond grateful to have our family be a part of the St. Pius V school community.
