Background

Saint Pius X was established in 1956. It is the only Catholic high school north of the Missouri River in the Kansas City area. cite web|url=http://www.stpiusxhs-kc.com/Our%20School/History.htm|title=Saint Pius X History|accessdate=2007-05-11|author=SPHS] - In 1956 five parishes in the northland felt the need for students in their parish elementary schools to continue their Catholic education through the secondary level. In the spring of 1956, Bishop John P. Cody, Bishop of the newly joined Kansas City/St. Joseph Diocese broke ground for the new building.
