Since joining the Academic Games in 2015, St. Pius X has become a powerhouse within the New Orleans Academic Games League. Our team consistently dominates local tournaments, frequently placing first in the city across divisions for games like Propaganda, Equations, Presidents, and On-Sets. After making our national debut in April 2016, we have grown into an elite program decorated with national trophies, including the 2024 AGLOA Outstanding Educator award for Coach Summer Anderson and a prestigious Outstanding Senior title for a former player.
