A Letter from Assistant Principal Kara DiCarlo
Alleluia!
Several years ago, when my family and I were living in St. Louis, as we entered our parish for Easter Mass, I overheard one of my daughter’s closest friends and classmates say excitedly, “We get to say Alleluia!” It’s funny the memories we keep. This innocent and simple statement demonstrated the significance of the day.

Saints Legacy Endowment Day of Giving
Want to represent the Saints and Kansas City while also supporting the Saints Legacy Endowment? Great! The Joearthur Gatestack tees you’ve seen around town or on Ted Lasso are the creation and brand owned by Aquinas teacher, coach, and parent Brendan Curran. We are offering these exclusive Saints version of the Joearthur Gatestack tees through an online store that will be open through May 2. Proceeds from the t-shirt sales will be donated to the Saints Legacy Endowment.
Faith & Service
Administrative
While yes there are only a few days left of school - school policies still apply and will be enforced regarding dress code.
As Spring Games have started, please do not park in the fire lanes. Parking/parking rules have been lax and this creates issues across campus. The two biggest problem areas are the back drive through and the circle drive when people park in fire lanes. Parking in these areas is a safety concern because when cars are parked in fire lanes they block emergency access points.
Academics
Saint Thomas Aquinas High School offers many electives that can help a student take their first step towards a career.
We have academic partnerships with JCCC and Rockhurst University, as well as Blue Valley CAPS program.
Additional Information
Bring the world into your home. You make the world better by welcoming a foreign exchange student into your family! Being a host family is as rewarding for you as the exchange student.
