Pius X High School was a private, Roman Catholic high school in Bangor, Pennsylvania, in the Lehigh Valley region of the state. It was part of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Allentown.

History

Pius X was established as Our Lady of Mount Carmel High School in 1951 by the Salesian Sisters. It was renamed after Pope Pius X in 1953, shortly after his canonization.[2]

Due to declining enrollment, Pius X High School was forced to close its doors on June 2, 2015. At the time, the school's enrollment had dropped to just 165 students in grades 7 through 12, with the final senior class consisting of 46 students...about 27% of the student body. Students in grades 7 through 11 were forced to transfer to other nearby public or private schools following Pius X's closure. [3]
