Afterschool Enrichment

SPXS offers many programs that allow our students to discover and expand on areas of interest. By providing a variety of programs, we help the students of SPXS  learn who they are and where their interest may lie. SPXS takes pride in offering its students a rich array of extra-curricular and co-curricular programs.

  • Drama

    The Drama Department at St. Pius X School is inclusive  Any student who wishes to participate in our drama productions may do so. All interested students have an opportunity to perform. Our spring musicals (Lower & Middle Schools) are staged with roles for every student who auditions; each performer gets their individual moment to “shine” on the stage. Students have an opportunity to fine tune already established skills or to perform for the first time in their lives. Students learn skills that they will carry with them for a lifetime – poise, teamwork, technical skills, and more. St. Pius X School enthusiastically supports the arts with our annual Lower School Drama Production.
