Ninety students are either sons, grandsons or great-grandsons of alumni. This ratio ensures each student personal attention. Academic excellence is acknowledged with membership in the National Honor Society, St. Thomas Club and Honor Roll. All qualified students are welcome at St. Thomas regardless of religious denomination. Because we are a Catholic school, all students must take Theology classes, attend class retreats and worship with the St. Thomas community at liturgies and prayer services.
Many students form car pools with other students from their area.
We provide zip code lists for this purpose. The Metro bus line stops in our front yard and many students take advantage of this convenience. Students do not wear a uniform, but they do have a dress code which includes dress slacks, a shirt with a collar and dress shoes. A student must score at grade level or above on the Entrance Exam, have a strong academic record from Junior High, and receive a strong recommendation from his Junior High School in order to be accepted to St. Thomas. A student must meet all of the above criteria in order to be well prepared for and successful in our rigorous college preparatory progam.
