Mission Statement

St. Pius X School is a Catholic school that educates pre-kindergarten to eighth grade students from St. Pius X parish, the surrounding parishes, and communities. We nurture spiritual and academic growth while fostering our students’ unique gifts and talents. In a faith filled environment, we enable them to reach their full potential. Through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we strive for the development of moral values as we serve God and each other in school, at home, and in our community.

Philosophy of Education

We believe that teachers should be role models for living moral lives. Both teachers and students should embrace the power of prayer and practice the Catholic faith.

We believe that students should be life-long learners and that learning should be a partnership between students and teachers. We believe that our role as teachers is to facilitate the students’ learning experience; to encourage and challenge young minds; to foster a cooperative learning environment; and to prepare students to think as problem solvers.

We believe that each child is unique and that our education process must acknowledge this. We believe that each child has different God-given abilities and, as such, learns differently.

We believe that, as teachers, we must build an awareness of students’ responsibilities and encourage the fulfillment of such so that each child is challenged to succeed. At the same time, we provide a warm, nurturing atmosphere that accepts people as they are and where students experience a sense of belonging.

We believe that a conducive learning environment involves guiding formative minds, governing good behavior, and guarding those entrusted to us.

We believe our school’s Catholic identity is clearly evident in the signs, symbols and daily prayer that inspire us to follow Jesus’ command: “Love one another as I have loved you” (John 15:12).
