Raffle

What is the Raffle?

The Raffle is a school-wide fundraiser to support general operations at St. Pius X High School. It is driven by the student-led Raffle Promotions Committee. All SPX students are expected to sell a minimum of $320 in raffle tickets each year. In return, they earn school-wide holidays and additional incentives.

Why is the Raffle important?

Because tuition does not cover the cost of educating a St. Pius X student, the Raffle helps close the $2,400 gap per student. Some specifics include:

Keeping tuition low for all SPX families
Providing financial aid to qualified students and families
Fostering the best faculty through competitive salaries
Supporting and upgrading our technology
Maintaining our 25+ acres of grounds and buildings
