Upper level French and German students recently wrapped up a unit studying the fine arts. Students researched a topic of their choice, created projects to display their research, and discussed with peers in the target language what they learned.  

Check out the German “Ausstellungen” (“exhibit posters”) and French “salles d’exhibition” (“exhibition rooms”)!

The two groups united for a visit to the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art to experience many fine works of art in person.

Chelsie Kane's advanced ceramics class are in the middle of wheel throwing lessons and animal constructions. We cannot wait to see these glazed and finished,

Engineering students developed a project for Mathematics teacher Mr. Ernst to create a dry-erase marker and eraser holder for the whiteboards in the Math Department. Students were graded on function, design, cost, etc. Each Math teacher came by and “ordered” a holder (or more if needed) for their classroom.

As students of Saint Thomas Aquinas, we realize that all our opportunities come from the support of our community. So on behalf of the students, faculty, and staff, thank you for making Aquinas the place it is today because of your generous gifts.

Alebrijes (Spanish pronunciation: [aleˈβɾixes]) are brightly colored Mexican folk art sculptures of fantastical (fantasy/mythical) creatures. You can find them in the movie "Coco".

In German-speaking countries, this is a tradition for 1st graders on their first day of school. Parents decorate large cones and fill them with school supplies, small toys, candy, and good luck charms.

Made possible through our We Are Called Campaign, this partnership with Rockhurst University gives students hands-on experience and a chance to explore a career in healthcare. We are beyond blessed and look forward to what the future holds!

The Art Club is ready to create art and expand their learning! Their #1 goal is a field trip to the Nelson! The club is open to all students!

Sophomore, Matt Brun had the incredible opportunity to sing the National Anthem at the Royals v. Mariners game Thursday, August 17. He was asked to wear Royals gear, or he would have worn something with Saint Thomas Aquinas on it to promote the Saints.

Matt is a member of the Swingin’ Saints. His parents are both Saints Alumni, Mike and Carrie (Kavanaugh) Brun, '97. 

No one does a "Red Carpet" like the Saints! Enjoy this video of our seniors welcoming the Class of 2027 on Orientation.
