St. Pius X Leadership

St. Pius X begins the 2023-2024 school year with its first alumni president at the helm, Mr. Aaron Parr ’06. Together with Principal Dr. Edye Simpson, both leaders share a common goal of nurturing academic excellence and spiritual formation while having distinct responsibilities.

As the head of school, Mr. Parr sets the tone for mission and values, emphasizing the integration of faith and learning while promoting Catholic identity in all facets of St. Pius X life. As chief executive officer, he oversees fidelity to mission, vision building, enrollment, institutional advancement, management of financial resources, strategic planning, and facility improvements. Mr. Parr plays a crucial role in ensuring effective communication with families, partnership building, and marketing and elevating the school’s reputation for the long-term health of St. Pius X.

Principal Simpson, who is entering her 21st year at St. Pius X, serves as the academic leader responsible for the school’s day-to-day operations. Dr. Simpson works closely with faculty and staff to create a nurturing environment and challenging curriculum for students. She supports and evaluates teachers, provides professional development opportunities, and encourages innovative instructional practices. Dr. Simpson works closely with the Deans of Students to support student interests and needs and to enforce the student code of conduct.

Mr. Parr’s and Dr. Simpson’s shared commitment to St. Pius X and their distinct responsibilities create a vibrant and exciting learning environment that nurtures students’ intellectual, spiritual, and emotional growth. As St. Pius X begins its 66th year of providing a college preparatory education in the Catholic tradition, the school is well-poised for success!
