"So let’s open our hearts, let’s rise to the call,
To uplift our community and strengthen us all.
For the future of every bright, successful generation.
For the men and women who will change our great nation."

A Remarkable Night!

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our Saint Thomas Aquinas community, Saints in Disguise: Unmasking Elegance at Extravaganza was an amazing success! Held on Saturday, November 16th, this year’s event raised its nearly $680,000 in funding. These contributions will help Saint Thomas Aquinas support nearly 900 students in achieving excellence not only within the classroom and academic pathways but also through a diverse range of extracurricular activities available “after the bell.”

On behalf Saint Thomas Aquinas faculty, staff, students and families, thank you for your heartfelt support. Together, we continue to prioritize a holistic approach to the development of our students, empowering them to explore, identify, and utilize their God-given talents.

A special thank you to our 2024 Extravaganza General Chairs, Julie & Dave Tuttle and Michelle and Scott Hardgree, '96 and to all of our 2024 Steering Committee members who worked tirelessly to bring this night to its success. THANK YOU!
