It was a good experience all 4 years. They have quite a few events for student life like dances, lots of clubs, sports, and other special events after school. It's also located in a great area.

St. Pius X St.Matthias not only prepared me for college but shaped me as a person. The teacher are really great and have a connection with students individual and truly want them to succeed. They focus the importance of God and community service. They have a variety of corses you can take.
