St. Thomas Aquinas High School is a four-year, coeducational secondary school in the Catholic tradition of youth formation, sponsored by the Archdiocese of Miami.

Respectful of each person’s self-worth, we seek to develop each student’s God-given talents in a safe atmosphere of caring, sharing, and challenge through a varied program of educational offerings, religious experiences, athletic programs, social and cultural opportunities, and service.

The individual, whether student, teacher, or parent, is the primary focus of the entire program so that in the image and likeness of God, he or she receives attention, acknowledgement, and challenge.

Charitable Giving

Remember, charitable gifts of stocks, bonds, and mutual funds that have increased in value since you have owned them can result in significant tax savings. If owned for over one year, you can gift them and deduct their current value, including "paper profits" from your taxable income. Consider Saint Thomas Aquinas as you plan your charitable giving for the coming year, contact the Foundation Office at 954-327-2187 for any assistance you may need. Our sincerest gratitude for your generosity.

Early Semester Exams

We have received requests for special arrangements to be made for some
students to take early semester exams. Before we can make a determination in any
case, we would like to advise you that the practice of taking early exams is not recommended by St. Thomas Aquinas High School. There is a particular form that must be filled out and returned to the Guidance Department providing us with at least two weeks’ notice.

All early exams must be taken either before school or after school and not during any regularly scheduled class time. There is a fee of $50.00 per exam for each early exam requested. This fee must accompany the
above-mentioned application.

Non-School Sponsored Activities

Non-STA sponsored school events are the responsibility of the sponsoring agency/parents. It is with a sense of care and compassion for our young people that we alert you to this very important issue and request that you make satisfactory inquiry regarding your student’s participation.
