St. Pius V School Photo #1 - Saint Pius V School was founded in 1929 in the Dominican Tradition. Four Dominican Sisters of Saint Cecilia still administer and teach in the school. The Dominican friars of the Province of Saint Joseph serve Saint Pius V Parish.
St. Pius V School Photo #2 - Small class sizes in the middle school with honors math and literature courses make it possible for Saint Pius V Graduates to attend the high school of their choice. Graduates of Saint Pius V School go on to attend schools such as: LaSalle Academy, Saint Raymond's Academy, Bishop Hendericken, Classical Academy, & Lincoln School.
St. Pius V School Photo #3 - Saint Pius V School is committed to the flourishing of the whole child: physically, spiritually, emotionally, socially, and intellectually. Each child is a gift from God that we want to guide to their full God-given potential.
St. Pius V School Photo #4 - The Early Childhood program is attentive to the needs of mental, emotional, spiritual, and social development of the small child. Pre-K is an academic rather than a play-based program. Many students entering Kindergarten are early or emergent readers.
St. Pius V School Photo #5 - Saint Pius V School offers a broad program for children from preschool to 8th grade including: art, music, technology, physical education and Spanish.
St. Pius V School Photo #6 - One of the elements that makes St. Pius V School so special is our sense of community. Events like STEAM Night, Culture Night, Harvest Festival and many others bring our families together both in and out of the school day.
St. Pius V School Photo #7 - St. Pius V has a strong Athletics component as well. Our teams have won championships in Tennis, Cross Country and Basketball, and Soccer.
Saint Pius V School, founded in 1929, has been operating continuously for the past eighty-eight years.
Today, Saint Pius serves 220 children from our own Elmhurst neighborhoods and several neighboring cities.
The Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia are an integral part of the school's faculty and staff, serving as classroom teachers and as principal.
The Sisters, along with a dedicated staff of Catholic educators, strive to educate the whole child in Truth enabling Saint Pius V graduates to become self-disciplined, reflective, and faith-filled contributors to society.
