Aquinas High School is a Catholic, college preparatory school committed to educating young men and women to be people of faith, character, and scholarship. We accomplish this in a number of ways.
Faith- Above all else, we want our students to know God in a personal way. Our students pray frequently throughout the school day, attend daily religion classes, participate in a yearly retreat, attend Mass regularly, and minister to their peers through our Faith Leaders program.
Character- Our students have a variety of opportunities to develope their God-given talents through our extracurriculars. We have 19 sports teams and many active clubs. At Aquinas, there is truly a place for everybody.
Scholarship- Our rigorous academics partnered with our supportive teachers and administration, develop within each student the skills he or she will need to succeed in college and beyond.
