How to use this website

We have created this website as a collection of valuable information about the programs, courses and opportunities that we have at St. Pius X High School.

On the Home Page, you will learn about our school - our history, chaplaincy, student support (including Guidance, Resource, ELL) and start the registration process. We are excited to have a 3D tour of our school as well. We LOVE our school and our Pius Family. We hope that you will learn what St. Pius X is all about.

When you visit the Requirements and Course Selection Page you can see what the requirements are for Graduation, as well as information about the various Pathways in High School. There are slide presentations for you to review for each grade level - this will help you to get started with the course selection process. It is also important that you watch the myBluePrint Instructional Video for your grade to help get started. You can then link to myBluePrint, where you can make your course selections. Please remember that your course selections are due by MONDAY FEBRUARY 27, 2023.

Your next stop is to check out our Departments and Courses page. For each department, you can see what courses are offered at the various grade level. There are a few highlights from each department as well - special pieces of information that our staff wanted to make sure you were aware of.
