More Than a School, It's a Community.
Home to a diverse group of happy, high-achieving students, passionate teachers and staff, and actively-involved parents, St. Pius X / St. Leo School is a true community – dedicated to preparing every child for a lifetime of learning and service to others. We emphasize critical thinking, faith, and service. In addition to a traditional core curriculum, we offer art, music, foreign language and technology classes. Serving midtown Omaha, the school also draws from 40 different zip codes in the Omaha metro area, with some families choosing to travel a considerable distance to send their children here. With over 6,800 alumni, it is not uncommon to find second and even third generation SPSL students. At the same time, we actively recruit new families to the St. Pius X / St. Leo School community.
Located in the heart of midtown Omaha, St. Pius X / St. Leo School draws a diverse body of students from 40 different zip codes across the metro area. A common theme you will hear from students, parents, and staff is that SPSL provides a welcoming environment to everyone who steps through our doors. SPSL is more than a school - it’s a community.
SPSL prepares students for a rigorous high school curriculum. Our students graduate well-prepared for high school and beyond. Mod scheduling, honors classes, and junior high electives ensure that students are academically challenged. We also provide support for all types of learners through our resource teachers and special education.
Mission Day is an annual school-wide event where students have the opportunity to give back to their community. Through service to others, SPSL students learn to be good stewards of our world and the value of sharing their God-given talents.
Every grade at SPSL is assigned a partner grade. Every few weeks, partners get together to learn from each other and bond with their buddy. Partners collaborate on service projects, attend Mass together, play games, and more. This tradition provides older students with leadership opportunities and gives younger students a role model to look up to.
On the 8th graders' last day of school, our graduates walk the hallways of SPSL one final time to receive a blessing from their teachers and fellow students. Every student and teacher at SPSL lines the hallways to cheer on our graduates.
"We have had two children attend St. Pius X / St. Leo School, and we have been very impressed with the strong academic programs which prepare students for the rigor of a college prep high school. In addition, the school instills in students the importance of empathy and helping others - attributes which will serve them well throughout life. We highly recommend SPSL!"

"This is an absolutely wonderful school! We have had all 5 of our children attend this school. The faculty and staff go out of their way to see that children are thriving and succeeding. The extra help and resources are phenomenal. It is a school that looks at the individuality of your child and creates a world of success and accomplishment! We will be forever grateful to the dedication of all of the teachers who helped our children become who they are today."

"Although SPSL shines at academics and spiritual & social growth, the school's tagline "It's not just a school, it's a community" could not be any more true. Students and their families really experience a sense of belonging and connectedness that creates community. Both of our children attend/attended SPSL and we believe they are better prepared academically and socially for high school than their peers."
