STA is famous for their achievements in every sport and the high accessibility to recruits; however, STA passes the academic standards with flying colors! The faculty here at STA are helpful and caring. Teachers stay after school or even arrive before school starts in order to help their students. They are all highly qualified for their jobs as well. Fortunately, I have had some of the best teachers every single year, especially for the AP-level courses. What also draws you in at STA is the community you join once you take the entrance exam. As you step in the school on your first day, you are a Raider. You'll always be a Raider!

Areas in need of an upturn at Saint Thomas Aquinas is their favoritism for football over every school sport, activity, clubs, & lack recognition for all their music programs.The school gives no authority or voice to students who are elected into higher roles from the student body, student council, or any president/vice role for any club.Students have no opportunity to actively voice how events, specifically intended for the enjoyment of all students, are coordinated, decorated, or prepared.Rules at Saint Thomas are known for outrages measures & setting a new higher bar each year, making it more problematic for both the students & their parents.Saint Thomas making more than "millions" a year, overcharging their students exaggerated costs for special events including; graduation, field trips, prom, & etc., is something that’s not uncommon. Even being a Catholic School, it doesn't fall short from being the ultimate greedy & money depleting business in the academic & educational system.
St. Thomas has proved to be the best experience I could have ever asked for. The teachers have given me a throughout learning experience and have allowed me to gain the knowledge to attend whatever college I wanted. I sincerely thank them for allowing me to learn in a constructive environment that fosters excellence. Because of St. Thomas's focus on academics, they have allowed me to work hard and obtain an Appointment to the United States Naval Academy. I will cherish the motivational experiences that my teachers gave me, which made me who I am today.
