Strategic and Master Plans
This strategic plan was approved in 2023 under the leadership of Pius X parent Jennifer Gutierrez of JAG Consulting, Inc. Based on survey responses from Pius X stakeholders (students, parents, faculty/staff, pastors, board members and alumni), a strategic planning team noted several emergent themes from which to construct the strategic plan.

Master Plan
In 2010, the administration of Pius X High School, along with the strategic planning committee of the Board of Advisors, began working on a Strategic Plan to help chart the future course for the school during the next decade and beyond. In conjunction with the Strategic Plan, the administration also initiated an update of the school’s Master Plan to ensure that adequate facilities are in place to meet the school’s strategic goals.
The Master Plan recommends a 10-phase approach to meeting Pius’ facilities needs now and well into the future. Immediate needs addressed in the first five phases included:
- Development of new, permanent parking,
- Expansion for Fine & Performing Arts,
- Renovation of existing Locker Rooms and addition of new Stadium Locker Rooms,
- Addition and remodel of existing Administrative Offices and addition of secure school entry,
- Expansion of the existing Chapel, and
- Addition of classroom spaces.
Below is an updated version of the master plan. If you have any questions, would like a copy of our master plan, or would like to discuss our master plan with us, please contact Courtney Johnson at 402-488-1046.
