St. Pius X High School (SPX) is a private, co-educational Roman Catholic college-preparatory high school in Houston, Texas. It was founded in 1956 by the Dominican Sisters of Houston and is rooted in the Dominican charism of Veritas (“Truth”). In 2023, canonical sponsorship transferred to Dominican Veritas Ministries, a pontifical public juridic person established to sustain Dominican secondary schools in the United States.

SPX is accredited by the Texas Catholic Conference of Bishops Education Department and Cognia (SACS CASI), and it is a member of the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools (TAPPS). The school serves students in grades 9–12 on its Northwest Houston campus, where programming integrates the Dominican Four Pillars of Prayer, Study, Community, and Preaching.
