Mentorship is a very important part of the culture at Saint Thomas Aquinas High School, whether it’s upperclassmen to freshmen, or teachers to their students, we strive to make each other better, to support one another. There's no one better at this than senior, Shane Gifford. '25. As a mentor he goes above and beyond.

How do you pivot when you discover a week into school that your gym floor is damaged beyond repair due to water? For the Saints, news that the floor would have to be replaced has impacted PE classes, Cheer, and Dance teams and especially the Saints Volleyball team.

The Shield is Saint Thomas Aquinas’ newspaper publication. The 2022-2023 school year is the first year with the online format. Students write on a bi-weekly basis in alternating groups, so about 7-9 stories are published each week. Look for new stories on Thursdays or Fridays of each week, and thank you for reading!
