Giving

Fundraising is a vital part of our culture at St. Pius X High School. The generosity and dedication of St. Pius X's community of alumni, parents and friends has been instrumental in helping us form Veritas women and men since we opened our doors in 1956.

At SPX, every gift counts, no matter the size. Gifts of time, leadership, prayers, and resources all make a difference. Your support ensures that we can hire and retain talented and committed teachers, provide tuition assistance to qualified families and support all aspects of a Dominican education, from academics to athletics.

We are committed to continuing our traditions of prayer, study, community and preaching and invite you to learn more about opportunities to support St. Pius X High School.

SPX Fund

The SPX Fund, the school’s most important fundraiser, helps bridge the gap between tuition and the actual cost of a St. Pius X education. It provides additional funding for:

Recruiting and maintaining top-notch faculty/staff
Tuition assistance
Educational programming
Extracurricular programming
Building and grounds maintenance
Security

Gifts to the SPX Fund are 100% tax deductible. As a Catholic secondary school, St. Pius X receives marginal support from the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston and restricted funds from the federal government. The SPX Fund directly benefits and immediately impacts every student at St. Pius X.

The school relies on tuition income and a strong SPX Fund to maintain operations. All private schools strive for 100% parent participation in their annual fund; this demonstrates that parents are investing in their student’s welfare and supporting the school’s mission beyond the payment of tuition. For more than a decade 100% of the faculty and staff have given back to the SPX Fund. We hope that you will join them with 100% parent participation.

Capital Campaign

Periodically, St. Pius X High School conducts capital campaigns to improve existing facilities or to construct new ones.

Recent examples include the upgrade to Parsley Field at Kubiak Stadium, creation of the Paul A. Gilliam ’98 Learning Center, and the construction of the Raye G. and Edward P. White Family Center for the Sciences and Media. These projects were supported by gifts given over and above SPX Fund gifts.

Planned Giving

SPX needs your help, not just today, but in the future, too, and a planned gift to SPX helps us make good on our long-term goals. Unlike cash donations, planned gifts are typically made from assets in the estate of a donor, rather than disposable income, and come to fruition upon his/her death. Benefactors who have made such gifts are recognized as members of the Torchbearer Society. Learn more on our website about other ways to give including donor advised funds, IRA rollovers and charitable gift annuities.
