Pius X High School is proud to announce that it has received two generous gifts to reward and support its faculty. The first donation provided a financial bonus to Pius X teachers, and the second gift enabled teachers to discover and build upon their God-given talents and natural abilities.

An anonymous donor approached Pius X last fall with their intent to provide a gift to teachers. In February, the gift of more than $41,000 was funded and distributed to award each faculty member for their dedication to their students and for their service to Pius X High School. Pius X has 85 full or part-time certified faculty members who received a bonus check through the donor’s generosity.

The second donation was provided at the start of the New Year when Dr. Courtney McCashland offered her expertise and business solution to Pius X’s administration to help build a strengths-based culture within its academic program. McCashland is the CEO of Strengths Research, a performance-based talent assessment and development company. After a session with McCashland which examined the results of the teachers’ individual strengths survey, Pius X teachers were provided a series of video workshops designed to help them learn to use their daily activities to identify their strengths and to focus their time on those activities for which they have the greatest passion, impact and fulfillment.
