As a student-athlete of Aquinas High School I was able to experience a lot of things most kids cannot. I was a 4-time league champion, 3-time Pitcher of the year, 3-time First Team All League, CIF SS/ State Champion softball player. The experiences I had are once in a lifetime. Being apart of a team is amazing on its own but to be able to achieve and surpass goals is even better.
I grew up catholic and being able to go to school with people who shared the same ethics and faith was comforting. I was able to go on retreats and connect with myself and my peers and grow closer to God.
The small classroom size and student/teacher ratio was great because of the amount of support given to each student. You never felt lost or behind because of the attention you were able to receive. The administration really cares and it shows both in the classroom and on the field. I would not trade my high school experience for the world.

I’m a student, and personally I quite enjoy my time here! as an ap student, it’s quite wonderful to have teachers to form connections with. it’s a very personal school, where the teachers know your strengths and weaknesses and will always try to help you improve! having classes with all of my friends all the time is an added plus. I really wish they’d improve their fine arts program, as it is very weak, and does not allow for any student led contribution.
Aquinas is a great faith-based, school. The teacher-student ratio, provides a great oppurtunity for students to thrive. Over the last four, I have expanded my educational horizons, with the help of the amazing faculty. Along with a great education, the school also provides many different ways to be involved including campus ministry and a great number of different sports teams amd clubs. Aquinas High School is like a second home loved by many of it's students.
