From the start, Saint Thomas Aquinas has benefitted from exceptional leadership. The school's first president, Blake Mulvany, was charged with opening the new high school, and his competent leadership grounded the school during its first arduous days of policy forming. He was succeeded in 1996 when Sister Kathleen Condry, OSU, who left her position of principal at Saint Thomas Aquinas to assume the role of president, a position she held for two years and capably steered the school for two years until she left to assume a leadership position with the Ursuline Sisters of Paola.
Since 1998 -- half of its existence -- William P. Ford, Ed.D., has served as president. A planner, a doer and a listener -- Dr. Ford is a skilled administrator noted for his integrity and ability to continually raise the bar in order to achieve excellence. He is past president of the National Catholic Education Association - Secondary Schools, a membership organization that "provides leadership, direction and service to fulfill the evangelizing, catechizing and teaching mission of the Church."
Brian Schenck was named President in 2021, upon which his vision of a 21st century education has taken root and the school is currently undergoing a transformation with a new pathways program with real-world learning opportunities in the sciences, engineering and business courses, an expansion of facilities to accommodate our growing Arts programs and newly designed facilities for our Athletics programs.
