St. Thomas Aquinas Parish School

St. Thomas Aquinas School
We believe that each child is a special gift from God, an individual to love, nurture and guide to his or her greatest potential.
We believe the purpose of St. Thomas Aquinas Parish School is to assist parents with the spiritual, intellectual, emotional, physical and cultural development of the child within the guidelines of Catholic teachings and moral values.
We believe the school's academic program provides quality education to develop the foundations for students to become lifelong Christian learners.
