Pius X High School was recognized by The Cardinal Newman Society as it released this year’s list of schools selected as the Catholic Education Honor Roll 2014 Schools of Excellence. This distinct honor places Pius X among the top 5 percent of Catholic High Schools in the United States.

Since 2004, the Honor Roll has celebrated quality Catholic education throughout the country. Honor Roll schools receiving this designation are marked by the integration of Catholic identity throughout all aspects of their programs and excellence in academics. This year, Pius was one of seventy-one schools who received the honor of being named as a School of Excellence, and was the only school in Nebraska to earn this distinction. Since the competition began in 2004, this year marks the fifth time Pius X has been honored by the Catholic Honor Roll award.

This honor comes just as Pius X celebrates its largest ever enrollment since opening its doors in October of 1956. Importantly, Pius X High School tuition is among the most affordable in the nation, with an average of $1,525 annual tuition compared to $9,622 nationally for incoming freshmen. This enables students from all socioeconomic backgrounds who seek a Catholic education in Lincoln to attend the school.  For more information about Pius X High School, visit http://foundation.piusx.net.
