We are a new family to Aquinas High School ("AHS") as we have a 9th grader attending AHS this year, however we have been a part of the Falcon family for the past 8 years as a member of one of their feeder schools. AHS embraces the students and families from the feeder schools from the student's kindergarten through 8th grade years. The access to staff, including the Director of Admissions, Mr. Karavedas, has allowed our family to have a smooth transition to AHS.
We would highly recommend AHS to anyone in the area that is seeking a faith-based education that adds value to your student. AHS will teach them about their faith, has an amazing sports program, clubs, an exceptional education program that includes, specific academies that will engage your student.
Happy family & happy student!

Of course no school is perfect regarding its members, but Aquinas is decently populated with good people and it’s a small enough school for one to form a family at school. The people are easy to get along with and academically the school rocks because of its variety of courses and college planning. While there could be more “fresher” or healthier food options, you can get a decent meal for a fair price and size and the food is pretty good compared to other schools I’ve been to. There’s also enough variety for you to eat different things every day of the week for one week. There’s a good bathroom to campus ratio and the school is overall clean with a few minor things to fix in one of the bathrooms. The rooms are well air conditioned and the greenery is very pretty. You can form your own community of teachers and students so that if a person of either category is making someone uncomfortable, it doesn’t go unspoken, albeit the school can take better actions towards it. Great counselors!
I transferred to Aquinas high school the last two months of my sophomore year. Going to a new school and trying to find my place was put on hold for a while due to COVID. Yes, it was hard and a huge adjustment not to just online but to a whole new school. Thankfully though we returned on campus for the last 3 months of my junior year. When we returned I gave myself two options I could either just let the rest of the year end and really try my senior year or make the most of it now and that’s what I did. I made new friends, met new people I also decided to try out for varsity swim and made it! My comfort place has always been the stage so I was great full that Aquinas has a wonderful arts program that helped me push through the nerves of a new place with new people. I’m happy to say that going into my senior year at this newish school I am senior class Vice President along with varsity basketball manager and on varsity swim! So I would say my experience has been great so far.
