Personally, I love STA. I could not see myself anywhere else. From the football games to the classroom, it’s always possible to have a great time. Teachers are always willing to give their students the best assistance. Students are different from one another but make great friends. Also, St. Thomas definitely has the best campus store in South Florida! One thing I wish STA would’ve added as opposed to change is a Flag Football team for the girls. Many of us love partaking in powderpuff as part of Cailini and it would’ve been awesome if we had a team.
This school has become my home. From energy-packed football games to the competitive Cailini season. STA definitely provides enough clubs, organizations, and other extracurricular activities to relieve your academic stress. Despite some questionable teachers, STA has a wide range of qualified teachers that will help you blossom and encourage you to aim high. Go Raiders!
We love Saint Thomas Aquinas High School! My daughter had her heart set on going here for a long time and it's completely met her expectations! The academics are challenging and they have a wide range of subjects, honors and AP classes. They also have one of the top rated sports programs in the country with almost every sport available. They have excellent variety of clubs and activities and a great cafeteria with many healthy choices everyday. Kids are very well prepared for top notch universities after attending STA. This school is excellent and we highly recommend it!
