| Giving to SPXLetter from the SPX Fund Class ChairsAutumn has finally arrived in Houston, and soon we will be consumed by the great holidays which conclude our year—Thanksgiving and Christmas. As we reflect upon our many blessings and on our reasons to give thanks in our individual lives, I would ask you, too, to reflect upon the many reasons to be thankful for St. Pius X High School. Along with the nearly 600 fellow families who make up our parent community, you and I can give thanks that our children spend each day: - Studying, praying, and playing in a safe, secure, and verdant campus
- Learning from a caring faculty in a nurturing environment
- Building good character through respect, accountability and self-discipline
- Experiencing a cultural, ethnic, and intellectual diversity that will prepare them for their futures
The St. Pius X experience is all these things and more, thanks to the SPX Fund. Through the Fund we all—parents, faculty/staff, alumni, and friends—join together to support the unique experience that is SPX. As you make up your Christmas gift list this year, I hope you will consider at gift to the SPX Fund. Any amount—$50, $100, $250, or greater—makes a difference to our School. If you agree that a St. Pius X education makes a difference for your child, I hope you will join me in support of the Fund. Sincerely, SPX Fund Class Chairs P.S.: An SPX Fund gift is one gift that is fully tax-deductible! Why Should I Give?- No gift is greater than a child's education, a gift for life.
- Every dollar you contribute to SPX benefits each young man and woman who walks through the doors of St. Pius X. Every donation made serves as a silent scholarship for every SPX student, keeping tuition lower than the actual cost of a St. Pius X education and allowing more families to send their children to a Dominican college preparatory school.
- Corporations and foundations—other sources of support for the School—look to the total percentage of participation in giving before choosing which proposals to fund.
- Your gift is tax deductible.
Why Not Raise Tuition Instead of Soliciting Gifts?Implicit in the mission statement of St. Pius X High School is a dedication to diversity—cultural, demographic, economic and intellectual. The SPX Fund allows all members of the St. Pius X community to support our mission at a level at which they are comfortable. Higher tuition would not meet all of the on-going needs of the School. Tuition is not tax deductible; your gift to the SPX Fund is. How Can I Give to SPX?- Cash/Check

- Matching gifts - your gift may be matched by a gift from your employer, which can double or triple your gift to the School and count toward your contribution. More than 500 companies match their employees’ gifts. Please contact your Human Resources Department for the proper form.
