As a secular individual, it was a jarring experience at first being in a catholic high school. However, there was more to my four years than just faith, I've had first-hand experiences with diversity, challenge, and improvement. This not only built my drive to do well, both academically and as a person, but also prepared me for my freshman year in college.
St. Pius X brings in a rich variety of well-educated teachers and students alike, varying in races, cultural backgrounds, and faiths. Even the theology courses, though can admittedly enforce some politically conservative information onto students, can remain usually open-minded, and have valuable lectures and discussions about humanity, faiths, and knowledge of important texts deemed sacred (which also go hand-in-hand with the history courses). Although I'm an introvert, I found a strong support system within the faculty when I cooperated and kept both my discipline and my grades up. You get out what you put into it!

My freshman daughter knew she wanted to attend St. Pius since the moment she set foot in the school as a 5 th grade doing a summer cheer camp. She loved how welcomed and comfortable she felt. Now that she's a student, she loves it. The faculty is amazing and very helpful. The students are friendly and she loves being a Pantherette. We are so excited to see her enthusiasm each day as she goes to school. We know we chose the right school for her, and can't wait to see how the next years go!
My son was interested in this school because of their connections with NASA and excellent engineering faculty. He was fortunate to make it to campus throughout COVID and is so happy with the academics provided, especially during difficult times. St. Pius X is one of the top schools in the U.S. and hoping my friends and family will also send their children to Houston. Thank you St. Pius X for everything!
