Principal's Message
It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the St. Pius School website. This is a wonderful school where everyone works together for the benefit of the students. Students receive a strong academic education infused with Catholic Christian values. This prepares students to be active Christians devoted to their faith, socially responsible citizens and educated people. We hope that our students move on to become leaders in their church and community and face the challenges of our world in a context of faith.
St. Pius School is a part of the larger St. Pius Parish Community. Families are actively involved in both the parish and the school and what they give often comes back to them a hundredfold.
This website should give you most of the information you are looking for about our school. It includes a brief history, class pages, parent resources, frequently asked questions, the faculty, and admissions information.
Experienced, dedicated and caring teachers who share a commitment to the faith and to excellence in education, staff St. Pius School. These individuals, many with advanced degrees and years of experience, have actively chosen to work in Catholic education. They share a common vision of teaching within an environment of trust, respect and love.
The spirit of community and love of God at St. Pius School is exemplified by the highly motivated staff. The faculty consists of a principal, vice principal, 13 full time teachers and two part-time teachers with an average teaching experience of 11 years.
