About Us
A Message From the President
Welcome to St. Pius X High School where truth is not just taught, it is lived.
As a Catholic, college-preparatory school rooted in the Dominican tradition, we are committed to forming young men and women who think critically, lead with compassion and live out their faith in meaningful ways. Each day at SPX, we see our students grow through prayer, study, community and preaching – the Four Pillars that guide our mission.
Our school is more than a place of learning; it is a vibrant, diverse community that celebrates each student’s unique gifts. We are proud of our tradition, inspired by our students and excited for what the future holds.
Thank you for exploring our community. I invite you to learn more, visit our campus and experience the spirit of Veritas in action.
In truth and prayer,
John William Bates, V
