At St. Pius School, our primary aim is to be a community of faith and our goal is to nourish each child's spiritual, academic, physical, social and emotional growth.
We feel that we can only achieve these goals with the full cooperation of the parents.
We encourage our students to put forth their best effort at all times, and we daily provide an environment where students may feel comfortable and safe so that they may work to their fullest potential.
St. Pius School is committed to carrying out the ministry of Jesus Christ in the education of youth.
We emphasize the education of the whole person, fostering spiritual, intellectual, social, physical, and psychological growth.
We strive, in partnership with the family and parish, to provide a quality education in a Catholic environment of peace, security, and love.
