Is your student struggling with a subject or needing help understanding a tricky concept in class? For students seeking peer tutoring, the National Honor Society offers free student-to-student tutoring for most subjects/courses. Interested students should complete the form linked below to request a tutor. Once the form is submitted and the request has been processed, students will receive an e-mail from their tutor to determine when/where to meet and what materials need to be reviewed or explained. We hope students will take advantage of this service, which remains available throughout the academic year!

If you have any questions, please contact Mary Perrin Carpenter, the NHS Treasurer and Tutoring Coordinator.

Clarification: Grandparents’ Day is a Freshman/New Student Only Event

Grandparents' Day is now an event for freshmen and new families only due to our inability to host an event of this size for more than one class. As the event grew in popularity, it became clear that we could no longer safely accommodate grandparents from both the freshman and senior classes. We recognize how special this event is to our families, and by waiting until this year to make the change, we were able to offer each class the opportunity to have one Grandparents' Day during their time here at St. Pius X. The safety of our students and their guests is a top priority, and we thank you for your understanding as we make this necessary change.
