Pius XI Family Newsletter | May 29, 2024

Heavenly Father, as this school year comes to an end, help us to take the time to reflect on our priorities. Inspire our students to focus on what must take place in order to achieve academic success. Guide our students to recall and apply all that they have learned and to acknowledge what a privilege education is. Bring comfort and peace to those with anxiety and confidence to those who do not believe in their ability to perform well. Inspire all students to use all they have learned in order to go out into the world and contribute to the Kingdom of God for your greater glory. We ask this in your name. Amen.

Letter from the Principal

Parents and Guardians,


As we draw to the close of another academic year, we would like to take a moment to reflect on the achievements and milestones that have shaped our school community over the past months. This year has been one of growth, learning, and resilience, and we are incredibly proud of our students, staff, and families for their unwavering commitment and support. I would like to first extend my heartfelt congratulations to our graduating seniors.

We look forward to seeing you all on Sunday at graduation! Truly, high school graduation is one of the most important of life’s milestones and we are all grateful to have the opportunity to share it with you. 


To our underclassmen, we commend you for your academic and personal growth this year and look forward to the contributions you will make in the coming years. We also would like to take a moment to acknowledge the support and involvement of our parents and guardians. Your continued partnership is essential to the success of our students, and we are grateful for the role you play in their education. As we look ahead to the next school year, we know that our schedule change will be a significant change for the community. Please be on the lookout for a newsletter twice per month from the Pius XI leadership team and also for release of student schedules as soon as we are able!  


In closing, we wish you a restful and enjoyable summer break. Take this time to recharge, spend quality moments with loved ones, and reflect on the accomplishments of the past year. We look forward to welcoming everyone back in the fall, refreshed and ready for another successful school year. Thank you for your continued support and partnership. 

Padres y Guardianes,


Al finalizar otro año académico, nos gustaría tomarnos un momento para reflexionar sobre los logros e hitos que han dado forma a nuestra comunidad durante los últimos meses. Este año ha sido de crecimiento, aprendizaje y resiliencia, y estamos increíblemente orgullosos de nuestros estudiantes, personal y familias por su compromiso y apoyo inquebrantables. En primer lugar, me gustaría extender mis más sinceras felicitaciones a nuestros estudiantes del último año que se gradúan. Su arduo trabajo y determinación han dado sus frutos y estamos emocionados de ver el brillante futuro que les espera a cada uno de ustedes. Ya sea que vayas a la universidad, ingreses a la fuerza laboral o emprendas otros esfuerzos, sabemos que seguirás enorgulleciendo a Pius. ¡Esperamos verlos a todos el domingo en la graduación! En verdad, la graduación de la escuela secundaria es uno de los hitos más importantes de la vida y todos estamos agradecidos de tener la oportunidad de compartirlo con ustedes. 


A nuestros estudiantes de primer año, los felicitamos por su crecimiento académico y personal este año y esperamos las contribuciones que harán en los próximos años. También nos gustaría tomarnos un momento para reconocer el apoyo y la participación de nuestros padres y tutores. Su colaboración continua es esencial para el éxito de nuestros estudiantes y estamos agradecidos por el papel que desempeña en su educación. Mientras miramos hacia el próximo año escolar, sabemos que nuestro cambio de horario será un cambio significativo para la comunidad. ¡Esté atento a un boletín informativo dos veces al mes del equipo de liderazgo de Pío XI y también a la publicación de los horarios de los estudiantes tan pronto como podamos!  


Para terminar, le deseamos unas relajantes y agradables vacaciones de verano. Tómese este tiempo para recargar energías, pasar momentos de calidad con sus seres queridos y reflexionar sobre los logros del año pasado. Esperamos darles la bienvenida a todos en el otoño, renovados y listos para otro año escolar exitoso. Gracias por su continuo apoyo y colaboración.


In Christ / En Cristo
