History

Pius X High School was established on October 1, 1956 as the central Catholic high school for the city of Lincoln and the Diocese of Lincoln. Since its earliest years, Pius X has grown to over 1,200 students in grades 9-12, with over 90 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.

Pius X has a large variety of classes offered to the students with basic classes such as biology, world history, chemistry, geometry, anatomy, various literature courses, and many others. Through the years Pius X has expanded the classes offered. The administration approved the addition of an academic decathlon course in 2010 to be added during the 2010-2011 school year. The school won the large school state championship in Academic Decathlon in both 2014 and 2015 and competed in national competition.

Athletics

Pius X offers every sport that the NSAA has sanctioned. Beginning with the 2015-16 school year, the school will compete in Class A, the NSAA's classification for the state's largest schools, in all sports except football, in which the school will compete in Class B. The school has won 75 NSAA state championships, including three girl's golf championships while competing in Class A. All other titles have been won while competing in Class B. In 59 years of football, the school has had only two head coaches, Vince Aldrich, for whom the football stadium is named, and current coach and athletic director, Tim Aylward.[citation needed] The club sports of bowling and trap shooting are also offered at Pius X for both boys and girls.[citation needed]
