The National Merit Scholarship Program is one of the nation’s most recognized academic honors for high school students.

Each year, approximately 16,000 students nationwide are named National Merit Semifinalists, representing about the top 1% of U.S. high school seniors based on their PSAT/NMSQT performance.

Semifinalists are among the highest-scoring students in their state and are eligible to continue in the competition for National Merit Scholarships. To become Finalists, students must meet additional academic and program requirements.

This year, 9 STA Raiders earned the distinction of National Merit Semifinalist, placing them among an exceptional group of students recognized for their academic achievement.

Congratulations to our 9 Semifinalists! Your hard work is being recognized on a national stage.

Experience Raider Life at STA Open House on October 4. Registration is required. Register today at www.aquinas-sta.org by @stahighschool

💙💛 The Heart and Soul of St. Thomas Aquinas!

Friday night was about more than football. It was about celebrating the extraordinary teachers and staff who make St. Thomas Aquinas such a special place.

Before kickoff, our faculty took center field for a well-deserved tribute, recognizing the dedication, passion, and lasting impact they have on generations of Raiders.

The evening was especially meaningful as we celebrated our alumni faculty and staff—former students who once walked these halls and have returned to inspire, teach, mentor, and give back to the next generation. What a powerful testament to the STA tradition!

The smiles, applause, and Raider pride captured throughout the evening tell the story. Our teachers are truly the heart and soul of St. Thomas Aquinas, and we are grateful for all they do.

A special thank-you to Raider Roots, the Athletic Department, and our football program for collaborating to make this memorable evening possible.

Once a Raider, Always a Raider! 💙💛

A small symbol. A remarkable legacy. A story that began across the Atlantic. 🇮🇪

Today, we proudly unveil a special addition to our Father Kelly Green uniform: the Coat of Arms of Kilrush, Ireland, the hometown of Father Vincent Kelly.

Father Kelly arrived at St. Thomas Aquinas in 1970, beginning a lifetime of leadership and service that would shape generations of students. Even as Superintendent of Schools for the Archdiocese of Miami, his connection to STA never faded.

The Kilrush Coat of Arms tells the story of his hometown through symbols of faith, hope, Ireland’s green landscape, and the waters of the River Shannon.

Now, every time our Raiders wear Father Kelly Green, they carry a piece of the place that shaped the man who helped shape our school.

From Kilrush to St. Thomas Aquinas, his legacy lives on.

Faith. Family. Tradition. Excellence.

STA students persevered through the heat and relocated bags of soil, installed an iguana fence, and created a layer of hay over the garden beds. It’s safe to say this first maintenance meeting was a thriving success! #saintthomasaquinashighschool #gardenclub #gardening #growingtogether #rootedintradition by @stahighschool
