St. Pius X High School (read as "Saint Pius the Tenth") is a Dominican, Catholic co-educational secondary school in Houston, Texas. St. Pius X High School, informally known as St. Pius or SPX, enrolls students in grades 9 through 12 and is administered by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston.

History

St. Pius X High School was founded by the Dominican Sisters of Houston in 1956. The school was named in honor of Pope Pius X, who was canonized by the Roman Catholic Church in 1954. Pope Pius X was born Giuseppe Melchiorre Sarto, and his family name was taken as the name of the school's official yearbook, Del Sarto. Pope Pius X's nickname, "Beppo," was also chosen as the name of the school's panther mascot.^{[citation needed]}

Principal Diane Larson is scheduled to retire on July 1, 2020, and Rachel Ware is scheduled to replace her.^[2]

Athletics

St. Pius X teams are the Panthers. The school's football stadium is named after Gary Kubiak, an alumnus who quarterbacked the team for three consecutive state championships.^[3]
