Academics
At Saint Thomas Aquinas High School, we believe that the ability and desire to obtain knowledge is as important as knowledge itself.
Learning is a life-long process
Our mission for our students is that they:
- Demonstrate a strong sense of personal responsibility for academic progress.
- Demonstrate competence of reading, writing, speaking, computer technology, listening, reasoning and studying.
- Understand the positive effects of academic achievement on career opportunities, self-respect and personal studying.
“Better to illuminate than merely to shine to deliver to others contemplated truths than merely to contemplate.” ST. THOMAS AQUINAS
