What is the St. Pius X Parent Teacher Organization (PTO)?

We are an all-volunteer, parent-run, non-profit organization, committed to the education of our children and the support of our teachers, and helping our community.

By joining the St. Pius X Catholic PTO, you can help us meet our school's needs that are outside the scope of the school's budget. When you go a step further and volunteer on a committee, help with events, become an ambassador —or join our board of directors— you set a fine example for our students to follow, and greatly encourage all our parents to come out and support all of our great teachers and staff at St Pius X Catholic School.

It is our goal to keep parents connected and informed by facilitating a close relationship between school and home and serving as the communication link between the two. The heart of our mission is a commitment to strengthen our Catholic values and provide the highest quality education possible for all our students by supporting the school and most importantly our teachers and their needs. 

We are all communicants of the church where family values mean a great deal to each of us, and we all watch out for our children. The St. Pius X Catholic PTO brings our community together with well-managed family-oriented events; including supporting the efforts of our teachers and school staff to make St. Pius X Catholic School a safe, nurturing environment for all our children to learn, and develop their unique personalities to learn to become a responsible member of our society/community.

The success of our PTO depends on each family contributing their time including their ability to help support the school for our children. This involvement allows our school to provide a superior education for our children and retain extraordinary high-quality teachers for our children.

Please join us and become a volunteer for St. Pius Catholic PTO for events and other programs.

A message from PTO President Alyssa Lutz:
Thank you for choosing St. Pius X Catholic School for your child's education. I invite you to join us at the various events we have planned throughout the year. These events not only bring us together as a community but also play an essential role in supporting our school's growth and development. I know that our collective efforts will make a significant impact this coming year.
