St Pius X / St Leo School

What St Pius X / St Leo School does

St. Pius X / St. Leo School is a private, dual-parish Catholic school serving Pre-Kindergarten through 8th grade students in Omaha, Nebraska. Founded in 1956 and operated jointly by St. Pius X Parish (on-site at 69th and Blondo) and St. Leo the Great Parish (at 102nd and Blondo) under the oversight of the Archdiocese of Omaha, the school delivers a faith-integrated academic program with core subjects, Spanish, technology, music, art, physical education, speech and drama, and an inclusive special education track delivered through a strategic partnership with Madonna School and Community Based Services. Headcount is reported as 35 in firmographics and 100+ in one source that includes administration, priests, teachers, assistants, cafeteria, and maintenance staff.

The school's revenue model combines tuition from enrolled families, recurring financial support from the two sponsoring parishes, fees from an Extended Care (before/after school) program, and two annual fundraising initiatives — the BOLD gala (with a 2026 GIVE paddle-raise goal of $25,000 for water filtration infrastructure) and the Race for Education sponsorship event. Go-to-market is community-led: enrollment is driven by parish communications, an alumni network of over 6,800, referrals, and outreach managed by a dedicated Director of Marketing & Recruitment across the website, Facebook, and Instagram (@SPSLomaha). The technology stack is commodity K-8 ed-tech (Blackbaud school management, Google Classroom, IXL, Freckle, XtraMath, STAR assessments, Prodigy, Kahoot, Quizizz, Destiny library catalog, World Book Online, SignUpGenius), with no proprietary platforms or AI/ML capabilities developed in-house.

Operationally, SPSL is governed by a Principal (Katy Chattin), an Assistant Principal, Director of Operations, Business Manager, and a School Board drawn from both parishes. The school is AdvancED accredited, holds additional partnerships with WorldStrides (annual 8th grade Washington D.C. trip) and the Omaha Symphony Orchestra (annual PK-3 concert programming), and operates from a single campus at 6905 Blondo St, Omaha, NE 68104. No venture capital or external private equity ownership is present; the institution is community-owned through its parish network.
