As Pastor of St. Pius X Parish, I extend a warm welcome to our Parish School - St. Pius Catholic School. Our School is built on a solid foundation with an impressive history based on solid Christian principles. Our School community strives to follow the mission of Jesus, to live the Gospel mandate, by being witnesses in our School and the wider community through study, prayer and service.
Our School is an integral part of our Parish family and entrusting your child’s formative years and education to our School is deemed a privilege and honor. The school years of our students are critical times for their development and holistic formation in becoming well-formed and grounded individuals. The dedicated and qualified faculty and staff of the School work diligently to foster a child-centered culture of learning at St. Pius that promotes academic excellence, strong Catholic Christian values and principles characterized by mutual respect, high morals, generosity and service. They work in close partnership with students and their families in achieving the end goal, i.e.; inspiring our students to achieve their highest potential regardless of race, creed or circumstance and by providing a positive, challenging, supportive and safe academic environment as they are guided toward success and High School readiness.
At St. Pius, our students also experience a wealth of various activities and events which build mind and body, positive relationships, strengthen character as well as learn responsibility in a safe, secure and nurturing environment.
May Our Lord bless our School faculty, staff and students with every grace as they fulfill their call as Christ-centered educators and learners.
Yours in Christ,
Fr. Suresh Rajaian, SAC

Family & Friends!
We welcome you with open arms to St. Pius. Together we strive to follow the mission of Jesus. We Study, Pray, and Serve as we draw closer as a community to God.
Our goal for our students is not only to excel academically as they move through our school and beyond, but to unleash the gospel and become active participants in our faith community too. As educators, rooted in faith, this is no easy task; rather a calling that we are committed to helping our students discover.
Parents hold a very important role when it comes to supporting their children, and we are here to support you. Parent’s are their child’s very first teacher, as they model, direct, support, encourage, and love their children. When they come to school, their teacher continues to build upon that foundation, while providing experiences, success, failures, and opportunities to push past their comfort zone.
We are thankful that you’ve been called to our community. Please, schedule a visit, come watch our athletics, and participate in our Mass. Come learn why St. Pius is home.
In Faith,
Kathleen England, EdS
School Administrator
