SPX Alumni, Parents, & Friends - The 2024 Career Day Needs You!

Save the Date: Friday, November 8, 8:30-11 a.m.


Our students are often asked, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" Being a presenter at the 2024 SPX Career Day is a perfect way to help them confidently answer this question.   


SPX Career Day is an opportunity for alums, parents, and friends to directly impact our junior and senior students' futures. With a wide range of careers, we would like to showcase them during this event, and we need your help. We welcome first-time and returning presenters!  


As a presenter, you will host one or two in-person sessions, presenting 15-20 minutes of material regarding your career and fielding questions from the students. This simple, 2.5-hour commitment is one of the most significant contributions you can make at St. Pius X. Please sign up by October 28.
