Faith & Service
Senior Trip to Rome - Spring Break 2025! This is an exciting year to go to Rome, as it is a Jubilee Year with the bronze doors open to celebrate “Pilgrims of Hope.”
Seniors, are you interested in going to Rome this coming March? Fill out the Google form below.
Our Saint Thomas Aquinas community has a subscription to the Education in Virtue program through Open Light Media that is created and operated by the Dominican Sisters of Mary, the Mother of the Eucharist in Ann Arbor, MI.
Education in Virtue is more than just a program. It is a clear, organized way of living a good, meaningful life. A happy life. What is virtue? It simply means the habit of doing good.
Teens for Life has activities every month. Have your student check Halo and fliers for upcoming events.

One Gift One Goal
Streamlining Community Support with ONE Ask!
For this year only, we are combining our efforts to meet the needs of our annual giving, with the Saints Community Fund and finalize Phase 1 of the We Are Called Campaign through the ONE GIFT. ONE GOAL. initiative.
Saints Community, you have a tremendous opportunity to make a lasting impact and leave a legacy for our future Saints!

Please note, if you haven’t received your benefits before game day, a donor list will be posted at the gate and the Preferred Parking lot to verify your benefits for admission.
Extravaganza
Administrative
The Saints Advisory Board consists of a group of students at Saint Thomas Aquinas who voluntarily meet monthly with our Assistant Principal, Kara DiCarlo, and our School Counselor, Matt Hallauer. The purpose of this group is to ensure we are hearing student perspectives that help when making decisions.
Academics
During the high school years, homework gets more intense, and grades become critical for college plans. Students planning to attend a college also need to prepare for the SATs and/or ACTs. At the same time many teens are learning how to balance academics with extracurricular activities, social lives, and jobs.
College Counseling
We hope you apply to join us in the Saturday Academy Program! The deadline to apply is Friday, September 27th at 11:59pm CST.
