STUDENT LIFE
Student life at St. Thomas High School is filled with activity and tradition.
Athletics, clubs and service opportunities bind them together through shared experiences that foster friendships, leadership, creativity and spiritual growth. Our students embrace the rituals that have been part of St. Thomas for generations and after four short years, go forward to join the lifelong brotherhood of St. Thomas alumni.

Parking Permits
All students that park at St. Thomas High School are required to purchase and display a parking permit. This permit is valid only during the school year it is purchased. Parking permits may be purchased online in our Eagle Store beginning August 1st. Additionally they may be purchased in the Business Office in person. Parking permits may not be purchased over the phone. A completed Vehicle Registration Form will be needed to pick up the parking permit. All instructions are on the top of the form.
Parking and Driving on Campus Guidelines
Students need to display their parking permit on the rear-view mirror at all times.
Student parking is located only in our parking garage. Vehicles on campus should be properly parked and locked when not in use. The school is not responsible for damage or theft of the vehicles parked nor for the property in them.
All information and regulations regarding student parking and driving on campus can be found in the Student-Parent Handbook.
We are so excited to inform you that St. Thomas High School uses CarpooltoSchool! We will now be providing the CarpooltoSchool web and mobile apps for parents and students to make it easier to meet and create carpools or even walk to school together.
Carpools are great for parents, students and schools. They save time, money and help students make new friends. Visit sths.carpooltoschool.com to join. Access is exclusive to our community only!
