St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Secondary School is a high school located in the western part of Old Oakville in Oakville, Ontario. St. Thomas Aquinas is a member of the Halton Catholic District School Board. There are over 1100 students attending the school in grades 9 through 12.
At St. Thomas Aquinas, the current principal is Ms. Kathleen Moro and the vice-principals are Mr. David Montoya, Ms. Marisa Munro, and Ms. Antonia Montanari.
The school offers an International Baccalaureate program as well as academic programs for university-bound students, applied programs for college-bound students, and essential/workplace programs for students transitioning from high school directly to the workplace; it also offers co-op programs for workplace experience. The school community prides itself on athletic achievements, and STA fields teams known as the "Raiders" in a wide variety of sports (see below). Arts-related groups include the Aquinas Concert Band (which won a bronze medal at the Atlantic Band Festival in Halifax in May 2006), a Jazz Band, a choir, two yearly school plays, and the school's Light and Sound Crew. Several leadership and school community groups also exist, including the school's Student Council, the STA Prefects, the STA Model United Nations Organization, the Athletic Council, Art's Council, Mentors and the Social Justice Club.
The St. Thomas Aquinas family of schools includes the following elementary schools: St. Dominic Catholic Elementary School, St. Nicholas Catholic Elementary School, St. Vincent Catholic Elementary School, and St. Luke Catholic Elementary schools.
