St. Thomas More is a wonderful parish school that offers an authentically Catholic education and strong academics. Our children are thriving here amongst the faculty and staff. The parish priests are ever present and take the time to teach the students. They are great examples and truly forming disciples of Christ. We are blessed to be a part of this school and church community.

We have been very happy at St. Thomas More. The administration and teachers work hard to keep the communication between parents and staff open. My ultimate goals is to have my kids in a school that prepares them for high school (and beyond) both intellectually and socially. I feel that St. Thomas More has met this goal.
