Student Life

Students who participate in extracurricular activities reap the benefit of the total St. Thomas educational experience. Student organizations are important segments of high school and provide avenues for cultural and spiritual growth. Participation in school publications, clubs and activities is a great way to make friends who share the same interests. There are many opportunities to develop character through performing acts of social service. Participation is a great way to develop individual talents and come to a greater sense of belonging to our school.

In addition, many college and scholarship committees look past an applicant’s academic standing and standardized test scores when making their decisions. They seek out well-rounded students who have developed personal talents through participation in extracurricular activities. St. Thomas freshmen are urged to find the activities that appeal to them as early as they can do so.
