RING THE BELLS:

BRAND NEW FIELD HOUSE

Physical education and athletics are an integral part of St. Pius X’s academic and spiritual mission. Each day, one third of our students take part in physical education and weight training classes, and more than two thirds of our student body are engaged in athletic programming every year. 

The new Field House will nearly triple the amount of dedicated space for our students to grow through physical education and athletics. Building an additional athletics building allows the existing sports facilities in Donnellan Center to serve as the hub for several teams, while also providing a multi-purpose space that can be used for extracurricular programs.

The Field House—located behind Maloof Stadium—will be home to dedicated locker rooms for multiple teams, an expanded weight training room, and health and physical education classrooms that double as a meeting space. 

SUMMARY:

• More than 25,000 square feet
• Sport specific and physical education locker rooms with shared single-gender shower facilities
• Fully-equipped and accessible athletic training room
• Enlarged state-of-the-art weight training facility to serve nearly 100 students
• Dedicated health classroom, meeting, and film viewing space
• Coach’s offices
• Laundry facilities

DID YOU KNOW

The logo many associate with St. Pius X, the Chi-Rho, is originally found in our school crest. Conveniently, this logo can translate to Pius X, however, its original meaning is derived by adding the first two letters of the Greek word, “christos,” or Christ. The symbol “P” was a popular monogram for the early Christian Church and is found throughout the catacombs of Rome.
