St. Aquinas School was first established in a building connected to a tiny church named after St. Thomas Aquinas, a Catholic patron of all universities and students.
Newer and taller adjoining school buildings surround the church now, and it has become a landmark because of it's large, beautiful, stained glass dome that takes up most of the roof.

The school honors its patron with a Winter Banquet on January 28th, his feast day.

The school was founded in 1901 as a private all-boys school. It was later converted to be coeducational. There are approximately two hundred students enrolled.

Headmaster: Fr. Richard Correll
Deputy headmaster: Fr. Marcus Palmer

School's Newspaper: The Pioneer

School's sports teams: Crusaders

School color:
       • Maroon (victorious and persevering)
       • Navy blue (steadfastness, strength, and loyalty)
       • White (cleanliness, wisdom, innocence, peace, and joy)

School motto: Vivat Crescat Floreat (May it live, grow, and flourish)

Coat of Arms:
       • Crusaders helmet (wisdom, security, strength, protection, and invulnerability)
       • Crossed keys (knowledge and guardianship)

My inspiration for the school is a mix of my own imagination and the Loyola School on the Upper East Side in New York City.
