Spirit Dress
Spirit Dress days allow students to celebrate St. Pius X pride by wearing a St. Pius X spirit T-shirt, St. Pius X club or athletic shirt with blue jeans or shorts. All rules of the dress code still apply, including no leggings for Middle School girls, no short shorts, etc. This year's Spirit T-shirt can be ordered here.
Free Dress
Occasionally students will earn Free Dress, which allows students to wear nice jeans and T-shirts. T-shirts must be school appropriate and therefore should refrain from vulgar language, or ideas, the advertising of alcohol, or other drugs, or portrayal of other offensive content. Free Dress days may not be scheduled on Mass days.
