“Light our Path”
Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light for my path. Psalm 119:105
Dear St. Pius X High School Family,
We are pleased to announce that as of today, SPX Real Estate Corporation and the St. Pius X High School Board of Trustees, both separate corporations, have completed the purchase of St. Pius's campus from the Archdiocese of Santa Fe. SPX Real Estate owns our beautiful 56 acre campus for the benefit of St Pius. St. Pius X High School, Inc is now responsible for governing the school. This is an historic moment in the history of our school, securing the St. Pius's campus for generations, continuing to excel as the premier high school in the state.
We are also excited to share that we are engaged in a strategic study that addresses K-8 enrollment across the Archdiocese of Santa Fe, including a feasibility study to add middle school grades to the St. Pius X campus. This information will provide SPX with data to plan our next steps and develop our strategic plan to continue in our tradition of academic excellence and spiritual growth.
In the weeks to come you will receive more information about our new governance model, the strategic plan, and the work we will begin on a new master site plan.
We are grateful to God for the continued blessings that He has bestowed upon us and in particular we are blessed by our committed alumni, generous benefactors, supportive parents, dedicated faculty and staff, and hard working students.
Sincerely in Christ,
St. Pius X High School Leadership
