History
The Sisters of Divine Providence started St. Pius X Parochial School in 1955. Msgr. Lawrence was the first Pastor of St. Pius X. The purpose of the school was to meet the needs of the fast-growing area. The school was named after St. Pius X because he was the Pope who established the Diocese of El Paso.
On November 16, 1955, the school was dedicated and blessed by Bishop Metzger.
Our school is known as the ONLY classical Catholic School in El Paso. It teaches the Arts of classical education to Students and is also a proud partner member of the Classical Latin School Association.

Glass Mural
This glass mural in our school celebrates the richness of our great cultural diversity, our Hispanic heritage, the traditional foods and plants of the border region, and the confluence of cultures that form La Familia. The river, instead of dividing people, embraces all cultures into one.
