We take pride in our tradition of providing an educational atmosphere which permits each pupil to develop the maximum capacity of his/her ability and offers challenges which lead to the maturity of each student who chooses to become a contributing member of our Christian heritage.
Saint Pius X School offers a quality Catholic Christian environment that promotes intellectual, spiritual and moral growth.

The main thrust of St. Pius X Catholic School is to create an atmosphere enlivened by the Gospel spirit of freedom and charity, to help youth grow as the new creation they were made by Baptism, and to order the whole of human culture to the news of salvation, so that the light of faith will illumine the knowledge which students gradually gain of the world, of life and of mankind.
