Testimonials
I believe in St. Pius X High School and am very proud to be a graduate. St. Pius has provided an excellent academic experience in a faith-based environment for me, my siblings and my daughter. My four years were a joy and a challenge that brought me bloser to God and made me appreciate the great gift of Catholic education. -------------------------------------------------------------- "St. Pius X high School is a winner when it comes to the small class sizes. I believe this allows the students ranging from the incoming freshman to meet sophomores who have now mastered their freshman year; ask juniors what it is like to be an upperclassman and to seek the guidance of senior classmate." Anonymous, current Parent --------------------------------------------------------------- "Receiving a Catholic education has always been very important to me and my family. We are blessed to have sent three of our children to St. Pius X and are very pleased with the values they have learned at this school." Susan Haar, current parent --------------------------------------------------------------- "I can't believe that I am going to be a senior! The past three years have meant so much to me. I have grown and learned to so much at St. Pius X and I owe all of this to the faculty, staff and fellow students." Michelle Haar

Kyle Klahs, current student --------------------------------------------------------------- "I have been very pleased with St. Pius. I feel the school is academically challenging and is giving our children a sound and strong foundation for college. One of my favorite things to share about St. Pius is the kindness shared by its students and staff. It has a "family feel." Debra Klahs, current parent --------------------------------------------------------------- "St. Pius has been everything we had ever hoped for in a high school experience for our children.

Anonymous, current parent --------------------------------------------------------------- "The St. Pius community is like a family; I love being able to walk down the halls and know everyone by name. I have branched out and found my true passions and talents with the help of my classmates, teammates and teachers." Anonymous, current student --------------------------------------------------------------- "St. Pius has been our choice for secondary education for our daughter because we believe that the environment offered in the classroom is an extension of the Christian conservative values we follow in our own home." Gary and Betsy Stefan, current parents --------------------------------------------------------------- "As a student of St. Pius X, I have come to find out the various stories I have heard are completely true. It was always rumored, from friends who had attended to other random people, that the staff of the school were friendly, the class sizes were smaller than average, and the student body sizes were so small you knew everyone in your class by the fall of freshman year. Having just completed my freshman year I have learned that all of these elements and aspects of St. Pius are true and can be witnessed during any given school day." Kate Stefan, current student --------------------------------------------------------------- "St. Pius X is just one of those schools you fall in love with!! It is full of great students, teachers and the environment is a fantastic place to learn. Kristyn Duepner, current student --------------------------------------------------------------- "St. Pius is a safe community, I feel safe walking down the halls, It's home!" Elizabeth Olinger, current student --------------------------------------------------------------- "When asked that "St. Louis" question…"where did you attend high school?" I proudly say "St. Pius X High School." Denise Kist, current parent and alumni --------------------------------------------------------------- "St. Pius X High School is a place where faith, family and academics are what it is based upon. It has taught me to keep my faith at the center of everything, know the importance of family and lasting friendships and to work hard in school, not just to please others, but to please myself" Olivia Richardson, current student --------------------------------------------------------------- "My son has experienced many fond memories and has become such a wonderful young man from the experiences he has had at St. Pius. He has displayed and learned many values since first discovering St. Pius. He shows great leadership skills because of the pride he has in his school." Debbie Earley, current parent --------------------------------------------------------------- "We chose St. Pius for our daughter because Christianity is at the base of all it teaches." Ruth Richardson, current parent & alumni --------------------------------------------------------------- "Our son has matured and shown great responsibility since becoming a part of St. Pius.

Also, I like Pius because of the atmosphere it is there it is just not like this in other schools."

I enjoy attending St. Pius because everything the teachers do is for the students; they not only prepare us for college, but for life. The teachers are what make this school really unique and a great place to learn." Joe DuBuque, current student --------------------------------------------------------------- "Looking back on my freshman year at Pius, I think what impressed me most was the opportunities given to students to become involved in community service. At St. Pius we are required to provide 100 hours of service in order to graduate. I already have 45 hours completed by doing things like taking dinner to a homeless shelter and helping serve, going to Jefferson City and lobbying against the Freedom of Choice Act, raising money to fund building a house in Haiti, and soliciting donations of clothing and baby items for a Birthright baby shower. St. Pius posts opportunities for community service in the hallway! These opportunities offered me a chance to step back from my busy day to day high school life and realize that there is a bigger world out there with people less fortunate than myself that I am responsible for helping. St. Pius helps me honor that mission." Elaine Surdyke, current student |
