UPDATES AND NEWS FROM YOUR FACULTY AND STAFF

A MESSAGE FROM THE ATHLETIC DIRECTOR

Dear Golden Lion Nation,

It tore at my heart to have to relay the news, from GHSA Executive Director Dr. Robin Hines, that our spring athletic seasons were cancelled. This news was certainly not unexpected based on the decisions being made by Governor Kemp to keep this virus from being more destructive than it had already become.

To each spring sport athlete, coach, parent, and fan...please know that we hurt along with you and I’m truly sorry the spring has ended in this way. More importantly though, I want you to know how grateful I am for the effort, determination, and the outstanding character you’ve displayed on behalf of St. Pius X Catholic High School. This time has presented great challenges for all of us and yet I have no doubt that each of you will use this experience to excel, make a wonderful life for yourself and family, and make an amazing and positive impact on our country and world.

I have included this link to a list of our spring sport seniors. Please join me in a community wide thank you to these Golden Lions as well as all of our spring athletes for their commitment to excellence at St. Pius X Catholic High School. For the remainder of the school year, the lights at Maloof Field will shine from 8 p.m. to 8:20 p.m. in honor of our spring athletes, senior athletes, and the Class of 2020.

Go Lions!

Coach Todd Mooney

Athletic Director

MATH TEACHER, COACH, OR SEAMSTRESS?

When the CDC suggested people wear masks in public, Mrs. Stilson got right to work! She spent much of her spring break sewing masks for the entire faculty to help keep them safe! Using fabric remnants and elastic from old science goggles (thank you, Mr. Sabino!), she delivered masks to school and mailed them to her co-workers. Her daughters helped cut elastic and Mrs. Jen Polzin even delivered many directly to the homes of her co-workers! As of today, Mrs. Stilson has made over 300 masks and has begun delivering additional masks to fire stations and for healthcare workers on the front lines.

Thank you for always thinking of us, Mrs. Stilson!

SUPPORT CATHOLIC SCHOOLS!

REGISTRATION FOR GRACE SCHOLARS 2020 TAX CREDIT IS STILL OPEN!

Many of our Catholic school families are experiencing layoffs and salary reductions due to the COVID-19 (coronavirus) crisis. Participating in the GRACE Scholars program has never been more important. The good news is the tax credit cap has not been met. It is not too late to give a scholarship and get a Georgia tax credit. Please consider registering today to support our students who will need help with their Catholic school education.
