School Notes

Saint Pius V School, founded in 1929, has been operating continuously for the past ninety-two years.
Today, Saint Pius serves 226 children from our own Elmhurst neighborhoods and several neighboring cities.
The Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia are an integral part of the school's faculty and staff, serving as classroom teachers and as principal.
The Sisters, along with a dedicated staff of Catholic educators, strive to educate the whole child in Truth enabling Saint Pius V graduates to become self-disciplined, reflective, and faith-filled contributors to society.

As a Dominican parish school, St. Pius V upholds truth as the guiding principle of its academic program. Truth is founded on the person and teachings of Jesus Christ. School emphasizes the need to strive for excellence in all academics in order that students may further the Gospel message in all areas of life. We believe that God manifests Himself through creation and Divine Revelation and that grace builds on nature. We therefore foster the development of knowledge and talents of our students.The academic program includes the following subject areas: Religion, Language Arts, Math, Social Studies, Science, Physical Education, Music, Art, Technology, and World Language (Spanish). In grades 6, 7, and 8, the school offers advanced courses in Literature and Math.
