SPX Sports!
Our St. Pius X community loves cheering on our student athletes! Athletics provides a healthy way for children to compete and expend energy by working together toward a common goal. As our
community gathers to cheer on our teams; we can see leadership, commitment, and love of the game. Our athletes represent our school with class and grace. Come out and support our student athletes.
All game schedules can be found on our school website
Middle School Open House
It was a full house for our Middle School Open House. Parents rotated from class to class according to their child's grade level. Each teacher had 8 minutes to discuss a few broad strokes about her/his subject. Having the opportunity to sit in the classrooms where their children are learning and hear from their teacher helps everyone begin the 2021-2022 school year in a positive way! Your partnership with us is vital for your child's success and we are so grateful for your commitment.
The 15th Annual Run with a Mission will be held on October 24th
at Mission County Park
What is Run with a Mission?
The Run with a Mission 5K is a fundraiser for the Archdiocese of San Antonio Catholic Schools. Hope for the Future with the support of the Department of Catholic Schools help put on this event to raise money for all schools in the Archdiocese of San Antonio.
The Run with a Mission 5K is being held at Mission County Park on October 24, 2021 with Mass at 7:00am, and the 5K Run & Walk starting at 8:00am. There will also be a virtual option from October 10-24th. More details coming soon.
Registration is NOW OPEN! All age groups are welcome to register. When you register as a participant using our school's name, 100% of your registration fee comes back to St. Pius X Catholic School. You don't have to actually run, as long as you completely register, the school will benefit.
This is a great way to support our school while having a fun morning with your family and friends.
