I have worked at Aquinas for nearly 20 years now and would say that this place has changed my life for the better. From the perspective of a teacher and a parent, Aquinas is a wonderful place to learn and grow as a student. It is a safe environment where the teachers really care about the faith, character, and scholarship of the students. The school is challenging and really prepares students for college and beyond. Simply put, this place is amazing!!

My school is a small, close nit community which is the best and worst part of it. Your know every one but everyone also know you.

Aquinas High School is a family. Everyone looks out for each other. It is a small school where you know everyone. The teachers care about the students and will spend time after school or before helping students who need help. I would not be where I am today without Aquinas High School. Everyone should go to Aquinas!

The teachers are involved, the college counselor is outstanding, and the administration strives to create a welcoming, family-like a...

Booster parents cold-shouldering new people etc. Baseball, tennis, soccer completely ignored. I had one child into f...

Having both attended two fine private high schools, and knowing the other other private schools in our community well, I cannot think of a better match that Aquinas for our children, both from the perspetive of academics/sports and the school culture. Small class size allows teachers to remain veste...

I do not even know where to start when talking about Aquinas. The tuition may seem expensive but believe me it is worth every penny. The teachers and the rest of the staff are very good at what they do. Also the staff actually cares about the student and wants them to succeed. This school is prepari...
