TEN Falcons have joined the ranks of the Veritas ACT 30+ Club this year. Principal Jose Becerra believes this is the largest number of students in one year.  The Veritas ACT 30+ Award at STA is given to all students who receive a composite score of 30 or above on the ACT College Placement Test.

The Class of 2014 at STA is the 25th graduating class and so it was only appropriate to forever honor this class when creating a new award.  The "Silver Falcons" are so named in honor of the first class to receive them, the silver graduating class. Selection as a "Silver Falcon" is recognition of a student's outstanding career performance and development at our school.  In keeping with our Mission of developing the whole student, Silver Falcons are chosen by the faculty and staff for outstanding performance in multiple areas, including academics, religion, human relations, extra-curricular activities, and service.  

Valedictorian, Andrew Jordan; Salutatorian, Colleen Daley; Amanda Jordan; Madison Casey; Blanton Burgess; Rebecca Ishee; Christopher Hudspeth; Anna Miller; Christopher Gaudin; Clay Parker; Bailey Barringer; Anna Lanier; Madison Chauvin; Summer Naquin; and Katie Gambel. 

Congratulations to the newly-elected STA Student Council Representatives and Executive Board.

"WE DID IT!"  That was the common refrain heard on Wednesday among students, faculty, parents, alumni, and community members who make up the family of Saint Thomas Aquinas Regional Catholic High School.  The STA family gathered on Wednesday, April 30 to break ground and bless the site of its new academic building.

It's the first week back from the holidays... exam week for the seniors... just a crazy week in general.  So, why have to worry about dinner?  STA will help you out on both Monday AND Wednesday this week.  On Monday, eat at Mi Patio in Ponchatoula beginning at 5pm until closing and on Wednesday, eat at Chick-Fil-A in Hammond from 5-8pm.  Just mention STA when placing your order and a percentage of your total will go to benefit STA.  What an easy way to support our great school!  Go Falcons!

After several years of preparation, fundraising, and sacrifice, St. Thomas Aquinas Regional Catholic High School is thrilled to announce it has received approval from the Diocese of Baton Rouge to break ground on a new academic building.  All are welcome and invited to share with our family in the "Groundbreaking Ceremony" on Wednesday, April 30th at 11:30 a.m. on the site of the new building (behind the current gymnasium).  A reception will follow in the Library.  "Thank you from the bottom of our hearts," said Principal Jose Becerra, "to all the stakeholders of St. Thomas Aquinas for the countless hours and dollars they have dedicated to seeing this dream become a reality.  We anticipate students being able to use the new building during the 2014-15 school year and are so grateful to get this project started."
