History

From www.piusx.net: "We opened on October 1, 1956 by , Pius X High School was established as the central Catholic high school for the city of Lincoln and the Diocese of Lincoln. Since its earliest years, Pius has grown to over 1,000 students in grades 9-12, with over 80 faculty and staff made up of both religious and lay people. When the school was named after Pope St. Pius X, it took its patron’s motto, "To restore all things in Christ", as its guiding mission. This mission is evident[citation needed] in the academic opportunities and the variety of activities (clubs, athletics, and organizations) offered to students.

On February 16, 2007, had the privilege of welcoming Former Nebraska Cornhusker football coach Dr. Tom Osborne as a guest speaker. Dr. Osborne talked to the school about the importance of character and how one's character is shaped by everyday choices.

During the 2007-2008 school year, was made a member of the Catholic Honor Roll, distinguishing the top 50 Catholic High Schools in the United States of America.
