Athletic Mission
The mission of the St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic School Athletic Department is to provide an athletic program with an emphasis on Christian principles and good sportsmanship, and to govern healthy competition between teams and among student-athletes in grades 5th-8th. The Athletic Department is an integral part of the total education system provided by the school where young men and women are taught lifetime skills of doing one's best, teamwork and leadership. The Athletic Department strives to develop student-athletes' bodies, minds and spiritual beings into strong, contributing members of society and the Parish community.
