Distinguished Alumni

So many of our Alumni have distinguished themselves as Catholic Christians, outstanding parents, model citizens, and successful professionals. In 1998, the Distinguished Alumni Award was created to honor these Alumni for all of their outstanding accomplishments. Friends of St. Thomas Aquinas High School have also played an important role in advancing the mission of the school. For this reason, in 2009, the Distinguished Service Award was created.

For information on how to nominate an Alumni or Friend of St. Thomas Aquinas for this award, please contact Brook Harlessat [email protected] or complete the form HERE.
