Redirect Your Taxes to St. Pius X
Did you know you can redirect your Georgia tax dollars to need-based GRACE scholarships at St. Pius X? Seventeen students are benefiting from GRACE this year.
"It's great that GRACE is finally catching on at Pius. I know it's been incredibly successful at many of the other private schools in Atlanta. Those parents have been taking advantage of the Georgia tax credit for years," explains Current Parent Susan Pina.

Blue Light Safety Beacons Installed on Campus
The safety of our students is among our top priorities. We have heard the requests and concerns about security brought forth from our community and wanted to take tangible steps to answer those concerns. In response, we have now installed three emergency "Blue Light" call boxes, identical to those you might see on college campuses or public parking lots. They are located at our Shallowford parking lot, the top of the pathway leading to the outdoor Stations of the Cross and the Seaver Family Sports Complex, and in the Senior parking lot. They are linked directly to the Chamblee Police Department's emergency line and should only be used in distress. Please familiarize yourself with their locations.
