Background
In 1994 a group of Catholic parents met in Saint Augustine Hall at Thomas Aquinas to discuss the creation of a Private Catholic High School. They were concerned with the lack of choice for students in the area. Many of these parents had graduated from St. Thomas Aquinas and wanted a school where their children could receive a classical liberal arts education that would also focus on assisting their efforts to teach their children about their Catholic faith.
