Welcome

The goal of a Catholic education is to go beyond knowledge and skills. Rather, it opens the mind, transforms the heart, and ignites the soul.

As the principal of St. Pius X School, I am so blessed and humbled to lead such a vibrant and thriving Catholic school!  The demand for Catholic elementary education on Cape Cod continues to grow as families are desiring their children to learn truth, virtue and morals amid much confusion and secularism so prevalent in the world today.

The Diocese of Fall River has adopted the above quote to clearly articulate the value of Catholic education.  Our goal at St. Pius X School is to intentionally integrate Catholic teachings into every aspect of our school community.  Whether it is teaching our Pre-K students how God made the inside of an apple, or offering service opportunities to the older students, it is my goal to illustrate and communicate the beauty of an authentically Catholic school to the broader community.  It is only through our relationship with Jesus Christ that we can truly be happy, and we are committed to helping students flourish through academics, arts, music, sports, and service.

We do not take lightly the responsibility of forming students spiritually, morally, intellectually and emotionally and I promise to share, guide and teach faculty, staff and students the Catholic faith to the best of my ability and with God’s grace.  I ask all families to join us as we help students encounter Christ and truly become the person God created them to be.

Thank you again for your support of Catholic education and I look forward to meeting every family and community member!
