🎉 70 YEARS OF ST. PIUS X PARISH SCHOOL! 🎉

On September 15, 1956, the doors of St. Pius X Parish School opened for the very first time to 276 students in Grades 1–6.

Today, exactly 70 years later, we celebrate seven decades of faith, learning, service, friendship, tradition, and community.

Much has changed since those first students walked through our doors, but the foundation laid in 1956 remains at the heart of who we are. Generations of teachers, religious sisters, priests, staff members, parents, parishioners, alumni, and students have each added their own chapter to the story of St. Pius X.

This year, we celebrate that story with a theme that says so much about who we are:

UKNIGHTED: One School. One Family.

For 70 years, SPX has been more than a building or a school. It has been a family — a community where children are known, challenged, supported, and loved, and where Catholic faith and academic excellence come together to build minds, hearts, and souls.

Our cornerstone carries the words of Pope St. Pius X: “Restore all things in Christ.” Seventy years later, that mission continues through every student, family, teacher, alumnus, parishioner, and friend who is part of SPX.

To everyone who has ever called St. Pius X Parish School home — thank you for being part of our story.

Seven decades. Countless memories. Generations of Knights.

UKNIGHTED: One School. One Family.

Happy 70th Anniversary, St. Pius X! 💛🖤

We also offer our heartfelt gratitude to Bishop Dennis Spies for his faithful leadership as Apostolic Administrator during this time of transition.

Welcome to the Diocese of Joliet, Bishop Cahill!

🙏 Come, Holy Spirit, and lead us forward together in faith.
