Pius X Catholic High School Serving Growing Demand With 13 New Classrooms
Lincoln Pius X High School (www.piusx.net) is preparing to add 13 new classrooms thanks to strong community support. The school and its foundation recently received $5.5 million in donations that will enable construction of the new classroom wing to begin in the spring of 2018. The classrooms are expected to be ready when school commences in the fall of 2019.
Father Meysenburg, the school’s Chief Administrative Officer, said the additional classroom space has been a part of the school’s master facility plan for almost seven years. With the significant growth in student population in the last five years, the timing of this new addition is spot on. Father Meysenburg is edified by the generosity of Pius X supporters for this project.
The new classroom addition will extend the northwest corner of the current building. Additional parking on the east side will replace the section of current parking where the new classrooms will be built.
Enrollment has risen in recent years at Pius X, and that growth is expected to continue – a trend fueled by Lincoln’s expansion, interest in high quality Catholic education, and the affordability of Pius X tuition. As the state’s largest Catholic co-ed high school and the only Catholic high school serving the city of Lincoln, Pius X is prepared to address the growing demand by providing these 13 new classrooms, while continuing to offer tuition assistance for families.
