Aquinas High School

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.

Excellent preparation for 'real world' academics and success in college! Students learn to perform well in a rigorous academic environment. My kids return home from 1st semester of college grateful for how well-prepared they were! AP credits offset future expenses too!
