St. Pius X-St. Matthias Academy is a co-educational Catholic college-prep secondary school operated by the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. The institution traces its roots to the merger of two former Catholic high schools—Pius X High School (1953–1998) and St. Matthias High School (1963–2013)—and held a re-dedication in 2013, opening the following week with a co-ed freshman class. It is located in Downey, California, and serves students from the surrounding region. As part of the primary and secondary education landscape, PMA serves a mid-sized student body in the Downey area, offering a Catholic college-prep education. Its activities are conducted under the auspices of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, reflecting a mission to provide religiously informed secondary education.
